From SH5 to SH3?

RushTheBus · 03-02-15, 09:26 AM

Hey all,

My first experience with the Silent Hunter series was (sadly) SH5. Even with many of the great modifications it just doesn't seem to have the same authentic feel as SH3 (from what i see in "lets play videos").

I think my biggest issue is that i'm big on visual fidelity and the apparent difficulties getting my native resolution (2560x1440) working.

I know this may be a loaded questions, but would the more seasoned Silent Hunter vets recommend checking out 3? Thanks for the input and consideration.

I certainly would recommend it. From a fluid random campaign to assignments all over the world, from simple single-merchant ambushes to harrowing nighttime convoy battles, from empty seas for days on end to crowded harbors teeming with life, from the primitive Type II "dugout canoe" with its five torpedoes to the "workhorse" Type VII to the Mighty Type IX long-range beast to the futuristic "Electro-boot" Type XXI, SH3 has it all. You can have as little or as much to do and see as you like. With several major supermods, each one designed for a different experience, and SH3 Commander giving real historic names to the ships you sunk and more than 100 different merchant types to sink, SH3 is the only version that gives you everything.

I appreciate the insight Steve. Can anyone point me to a thread or particular modification / series of mods which are fan favorites?

Also, for a high resolution fix, try Ahnenerbe's WideGUI

Thanks guys! I've got GWX installed. I guess my biggest concern is past that what are the most popular / immerse mods and do i need to be enabling them in a specific order (like in SH5)?
