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.
