I know not anything about sub sports meeting. I used to play this game when i was a kid on my Original Nintendo. I find Part 2 to be alittle frustrating but I like Part 3 better. Simpler play, especially the map and plotting coarses. I have noticed the crew is alittle robotic, but its ok.Its better than staring at gauges while submerged I also like the sub sounds when submerging and submerged. I play the game on 100% realism, I like the thought that you can adjust that also, because if you want an arcade type game play you can do that or you would like the total realism you can also get a taste of that. Part 3 also has a Naval Academy section where you can learn about the subs and what the gauges are for, so if you know not anything about subs and their functions thats always a splendid place to start. Part 2 justs throws you in the sub and you have to guess or hover the mouse over gauges to see the help text and still have to guess what the text means. So thats alittle about the sports meeting. Im no expert on the game but those are my opinions. I’ve always been interested in subs and this game has always been the bordering to simulation as far as I know. So buy the game, it won’t disapoint you.

I found it hard to get the controls to do what you wanted them to do.
Not everything worked like you’d want it to. The crew are too dumb to know what they’re jobs are, so have to keep telling them, assigning them their jobs!
You can’t assign shifts for the crew on long runs, so have to keep managing them over and over again so they don’t get exhausted – asinine that they can’t be assigned shifts. The tutorial says to sail across the channel – tried as many channels I could sail across yet was not told the assignment was complete. I know it was only 10 bucks but would like a refund.

Silent Hunter three is the zenith of WWII U-baot marine simulations and with this bundle you get the venerable predecessor as well. A splendid buy for the price.

This version does not include the Starforce DVD nagware that other versions of Silent Hunter III came with. Well worth it if only for that!

SH3 is the best Sub sim ever. Just keep in mind that because it is realistic, it can also be frustrating at times if you used all your torpedoes and only sink 1 ship. There are also times (ie: in the English Channel) when its best to stay submerged at 3 knots and use silent running when 3 destroyers and a couple of cutters are searching for you. Once the enemies warships spot you they are relentless. You can literally spend hours just crawling by the side of, even this part is fun until you get sunk that is.
The game realism settings can be turned on or off but its certainly more fun do the targeting manually. It takes a few missions to get the hang of it. The manual is of splendid help(its located on the disk.)
As far as SH2, graphics are vital to me and the SH2 graphics are outdated for sure, but SH3 looks splendid except for the trees. The water looks very realistic, especially when the seas are rough.
Here is a tip for customizing the map time compression options in SH3 to your tastes.
You can edit the time compression by opening the document named main.cfg -This is located in the SH3/data/cfg folder that the game places in your documents folder(the same place where the game saves are found. This file can be opened with pad or word document, just be sure to uncheck the box that says ‘Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.’ Its also a excellent thought to copy this file to a different location before editing in case you need to restore the original later. In order to set the enemy friend to real time you would change the regard under [Time Compression] EnemyDetected=8 to EnemyDetected=1
I also changed the most from 1024 to 2048 for moving around the map quicker. Then I changed CharacterAnim to =2 as the default was something like 32 and was making me seasick to watch.
Changing AirEnemyDetected=1 to AirEnemyDetected=0 will make the game pause whenever an enemy plane spots you. You won’t see the default message saying that a plane has been spotting as the game will just pause. You could do this for enemy friend as well if desired. This is nice if you leave your game run to make a quick soda or sandwich run.
UPDATE: When I first started doing campaign missions. I only averaged 1 and 1/2 ships sunk per mission using 100% realism settings and manual targeting. After learning interception techniques and Quick 90 attacks form a subsim forum, I averaged 7.5 ships sunk per mission. So its worth your time to check out one of these forums if your new to Subsims as I was. There was a bit of a frustration factor in learning this game but it has layers of depth to it that make it rewarding once you have it down.
