    Well I decided not to buy SHIII but to wait for the first patches.

    Reasons:

    1. Resolution (1024x768): I have a 21" monitor and 1024x768 is unbearable for my eyes.

    2. UZO-bug: I have a 6800GT and can not attack with the UZO although this was the standard attack maneuver for u-boats until 1943.

    3. No wolfpacks: I just read that there are no wolfpack operations in the game. However this was the attack tactics that made german u-boats that successful. A single u-boat against a whole convoy is simply ridiculous and ... not realistic.

    4. No Resupply: the lack of resupply excludes big parts of the map from being accessed. I have no understanding for such a flaw.


    I hope that the Devteam will solve these issues.

    You have WolfPack in Multi Player NEVER seen before and you can wait for a patch at your peril!

    I intend to be as educated on course navigation and fireing solutions as soon as I can be and become a long term member of the online subsim community!

    First of all, you cant say for sure that there even IS a 6800GT bug. It was reported by some beta tester somewhere...sometime, you just cant say for sure until it is released.

    Second, where did you read that there is no wolfpack operations? Because I remember reading the exact opposite in interviews with the dev team.

    first, the UZO-bug was admitted by the devteam (just search subsim.com a bit)

    second, a few german clans have reviewed the game and noticed no other u-boats (and BdU does not reply when they report contacts).

    Well the UZO bug is a driver flaw with nvidias drivers so im sure nvidia will sort that out in a new forceware release if it hasnt already been addressed in the latest ones out.

    At least you have a monitor, what about people with TFT's running at 1024x768, still not confirmed if this can be over come with unsupported config file changes.

    If you really dont like what you see in SH3 then sure dont buy it but I think most people here will try the game first before passing judgement.
