SH5 or SH3 ?
Hello Chaps,
So recently I stumbled on these two Silent Hunter games and wanted to buy one,
But i don't know which to get,Silent Hunter 3 looks less polished graphicly but is a sure good play,
on the other hand i would like some nice explosions from Silent Hunter 5 but i have heard its a bugged mess.
Which one is best ?
Thanks Guys,
Stinger

Re: SH5 or SH3 ?
THAINE and I have moved on to SH5, leaving the others behind. Unless you have a compelling reason to run older software, why run older software?
Regardless, you'll want to mod it to get the eye candy and functionality beyond the OEM release. Bugginess isn't a big issue once properly modded as outlined by the threads here. Compatibility with others in MP is the issue to be careful when modding.

Thanks for the info Bubi.
Re: SH5 or SH3 ?
I still play SH3 and greatly enjoy it over 5. For me even with mods 5 still feels like a glitchy and frustrating game to play by comparison and the novelty of flashy graphics gets old very fast. SH3 with GWX installed is still the definitive SH experience to me, because it's more polished and gives you more freedom to choose and switch theaters. Your mileage may vary however.
Re: SH5 or SH3 ?
Thanks for the reply, i think im gonna get SH3.
Re: SH5 or SH3 ?
What are the recommended Mods for SH3 and also SH5 ?
Re: SH5 or SH3 ?
For SH3 you want GWX and the high resolution mod I posted in this subforum (I can't link it directly right now as I'm posting this from my PS4). The list of mods for SH5 is as long as my arm, but Thaine posted a good list a little while back that's worth trying.
