Default Moving from SH-III to SH-V

I have been a member of these boards for a few years and while I used to play SH-III and enjoyed it alot then I never got to finish a complete campaign, I lost my save game when buying a new computer etc.

Since then I have never picked up SH-III which I used to play without any mods. However I did have my eyes on SH-V which I followed a bit before it was released though I never picked it up due to playing other games and also I have to admit the rather mixed reviews I read on these boards as I understand it was quite buggy on release.

However now a few weeks ago I picked up a hardcopy version of the game, I initially thought about getting it via steam but I opted against it since it will be difficult/impossible from what I gather to use mods, or certain mods with the steamversion of the game.

So now I am the lucky owner of a copy of SH-V, though I have not installed it yet and I am not sure when I will start playing it but I have longed for one of these games again since it belongs to the genre I like to call "cozy games" where you have time to relax and enjoy the game in peace as opposed to hectical FPS games, which I primary play, though I am in a gaming "depression" now finishing of Battlefield 3 which has left me, or starting to burned out gaming wise.

So in that case I think a bit of SH-V might be a good remedy.

By the way, I can be a bit slow when it comes to installing mods and from what I gather SH-V is perhaps a bit more dependent of mods in order to be enjoyable then SH-III (which I found good enough without), however as I have not played SH-V yet is it an ok game without mods?

Welcome! the short answer is no.
SHV is unplayable without mods.

Welcome! I am still playing on BF3 when I need to spice things up... LOLOLOL!!!

Anyway, you must have mods to play SH5 because it makes the game more interesting!

Greetings and welcome to SH5 - The half assed & half finished game

When it comes to modding and such I'm on the farther side of SLOW myself. Started downloading mods last Tuesday and finished yesterday There are tons of decent mods lists here, so choosing one is actually the hardest part! I went with Fifi's mods list "for top immersion" found here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=203711&page=4

You're looking at a 3,85 Gb mods folder, but you'll have one sweet game experience when it's done.

Best of luck and happy hunting

Pete

This Generic Patcher is a MUST to have to properly tweak and fix the SH5 simulator

The irony is: the uboat war WAS a half assed war: too few boats; too soon; with lazy funkers not using that fourth rotor and really only with the last war's technology... and a halfassed plan. I second Adm FiFI.
