For example, the British submarines in the Mediterranean against German/Italian convoys, or maybe again against the Japanese in the Far East colonies.

It would had been interesting if they ever made an expansion, or a mod with other scenarios. The one I played the most has been SH4, because I'm not into german U-boats and, like you prefer the Pacific Theater. You'll also find all the information on the mods that you need. THE place to look and ask further questions on all things submarine simulations is. The closest thing to a supermod is collections of recommended mods that work together. The mods make it quite playable now, but unfortunately there is no one supermod the likes of GWX, nor is there ever likely to be one.

Many, many mods have improved greatly on this, and the full War is now playable, albeit still only with a Type VII. A further disappointment is that it only includes the Type VII U-Boat and only half of the war, whilst the SH3 dynamic campaigns stretched over the full duration of WW2 and included the Type II und Type IX Uboats as well. While this is pretty cool, the game was still very bugged when it came out. Graphically a huge improvement over SH3, SH5 also modelled the full interior of the U-Boat, allowing you to walk to each station in first person view. Lastly there is Silent Hunter 5, which takes the action back to the German U-Boats of the Atlantic. The graphics also hold up much better by today's standards. While it was a bit of disappointment when it came out due to a great number of bugs, most of these have been fixed and there are a good number of mods out now that greatly improve the experience. There's also an expansion that lets you sail the German Type IX so called "Monsoon Boats" in the East Asia theatre.

SH4 takes the action elsewhere to the WW2 Pacific theatre, where you play on the American side for a change. No U-Boat game after has really matched it so far.Īfter Silent Hunter 3 came the much anticipated Silent Hunter 4. If you use a 16:9 or 16:10 resolution, it'll stretch the 4:3 image to fit. There has been a fix for a number of years now to let the game run in any resolution, but only at an aspect of 4:3. Which was even quite ridiculous for the time. The graphics are somewhat dated but still acceptable, however the game only ever ran at a game-native resolution of 1024x768!. Unfortunately SH3 is quite old now, released in 2005. It's probably the greatest U-Boat game ever done, and the added depth and content GWX gives the game is unparalleled. I was actually on the Silent Hunter 3 GWX mod team once and did many of the ship skins.
