I disagree with everything that is said in this thread. You guys are wrong.

Special pleading?

Trolling should be legal. Like all discussion forms on the internet, it does have some adverse health effects, but trolling is different from other ways of expressing oneselves. Many have benefited from the effects of trolling.

Misconduct, as this thread seems to be as good as any other to go off topic:

Is silent hunter IV now what SH III was after a couple of modders went over it big time?
SH III was my favourite game for a long time but not in the stock version but with the Grey Wolves Mod with
about every part of the game changed for realism. It was a sensational piece of work.

Is something like GW now existing for SHIV? (heard that SHV was/is crap so I don´t even bother about buying that one)

Silent Hunter IV is much improved over SH 3, the mods have in fact made SHIV pretty decent (there are however some issues still) like later in the war entire convoys get jammed up in Japan. There isn't GW For SH4 yet, I still play SH3 in tournaments with GW and only GW. Some of the big mods are Trigger Maru, Real Fleet Boat and Fall of the Rising Sun, all which do incredible job at making it historically accurate.

I would gamble on SH4 if you can get it cheap, however I would stay away from SH5, its a total piece of crap.

I believe there are 3 active SH4 tournaments, with the 3 mods, Sh3 only has two active both are GW's with 100% realism and other is 50%

Please continue with your argument. It intrigues me.

Thanks, this sounds really good. I will try it out. Should I be aware of any known issues with W7?

I have some crashing issues with w7 when running SH4 when I never had crashes under vista.  I also likes a couple of mods, real fleet boat for one, and it crashes constantly under w7.  Remove the mod and crashes scale WAY back.

I hear a lot about Silient Hunter... I should have to investigate this matter..

I own 1, 3, and 4. Number 3, when modded, is by far the best of the lot. (But you have to play the bad guys.) I had great hopes for #4, but it was horked out of the box, and the various mods couldn't really fix what was wrong because the Romanian designers just don't get the USN. Too many glaring errors if you know anything about uniforms, culture, terminology, etc. Also, they (stupidly IMO) failed in the basic design decision of how to deal with the vast distances of the PTO. The transits to and from the patrol areas are torture, even with accelerated time. And they never, at least when I stopped playing and deleted #4, got the fuel consumption close to right. A transit at a standard bell and you had a couple of days in the patriol area. Some basic research into public access patrol reports would have given them direction on this.

#3 with the Greywolves mods is a lot of fun, and what #3 should have been out of the box. Just make sure if you go that way you get a non-Starforce version, or remove it ASAP if you must go for the original. Starforce was evil incarnate.

I might check into it or dl the demo. Hear a lot about it and the screens and videos look fun that I look at.
