I like SH3 better than SH4, sh4 is just a  series of "aircraft spotted" over and over and over and over :mad: and the german boats are more fun anyway.

+1.

SHIII is a fantastic game.  Held my interest for quite some time.

SHIV - about a week.

Make sure you download one of the mods that eliminates crew fatigue when time compression is enabled.  (Sorry, forget all the names of the mods.. its been awhile).

Yep SHIII is a good game I still play it about once a week. I have SH4 but I played it for about three hours and haven't picked it up since.

Is there a way to install this game without it screwing up your system? I read some awful horror stories about what happens to 64-bit Windows during the install process of Starforce.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

Is this game with Starforce safe to install on non 64 bit systems?

Your mileage may vary. It's possible to install it and then use starforce remover + no-cd patch. But be warned last time I tried to use the starforce remover it rendered my OS in an unbootable state.

I still play as well.

I haven't updated any mod for the game for quite some time. Using Real Uboat 1.45 here and SH3 Commander.

Currently on Patrol 6. Late April 1940. Contact Report indicated a Task Force operating in the fjords near Trondhiem. In very shallow water I snuck up on three Troop Transports and a Fiji Class Cruiser with escort.

Nearly 3 hours of Real time game play, and I have yet to clear the fjord. Tribal Class DDs are all over my ass. What a mistake going in there was. Only sank one Transport. I am off to head to the Dunkirk evacuation, should be fun times. I love how the mods re-enact real events like Norway, Dunkirk, D-Day and such.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Definitely go with GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion). It completely transforms the ok stock game into a truly great U-boot sim. Happy hunting Herr Kaleun!  :)

Sorry to Bump this, but the most ironic thing has happened.

After I posted above comments, my game crashed and would not even load. So I deleted it and did a complete re-install and downloaded Grey Wolves Expansion 3.0.

If you have this game, download this Add-on.

It is pretty large, but Die Hard is completely right. If you have this game but it is not installed, prepare to dust it off. It contains a 644 page PDF manual.  :) With all new missions, graphics, gameplay... What a Great Mod.
