I am wondering, does anyone have Silent Hunter 5? I've been thinking of getting it, but I have heard lots of bad things about it. So I would like to know if anyone here has it, and what issues they have been facing with the game.

The last I played was the third one... I'm still waiting for a Cold War one to wipe off cities with nukes.

If you have followed the series, SH5 is just 3 revisited (ie in the Atlantic) with better graphics. To get the most out of it, you must have the big mods installed (just like LCPDFR is to GTAIV). To get an idea of where things sit at the present, go to the Subsim website (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/index.php) and have a look through the discussion and mods forums. I have been a member over there for many, many years, but dropped out of the sub community a few years back when I lost interest. 

Silent Hunter 3 All the way! Still play that game.

Not as big into it as Archie prolly, but i was around some forums and tried out a lot of mods for SH3. Had a lot of fun while hunting.

I have to be honest tho. Never tried the 5th part. A lot of people told me it sucks and i was still rocking SH3 at that time.

That's what I've been hearing. People say to play 3 & 4. But personally, I like games that have good graphics, and features.

Okay thank you. I will hit the forum up on that site.
