There any games like this with surface ships?

[EmotionallyBroken]

preferably with more modern graphics, maybe up to par with sh5
Also how are the surface mods for this game?

for clarity, I mean playable surface ships.

SH3 Warship Mod V3.0

The mod has some limitations, like when the enemy has hard time aiming at you since the ships are build on top of the actual sub.
Definetily something to check out, the ship models are great!

There is the older Destroyer Command. But that was contemporary with SH2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_Command

Thanks to both of you.

I've been looking for a surface warship mod as well because developes are simply afraid of doing proper ones, Silent Hunter 3 style. I'm not amused by the World of Warships version (I did try it) wishing we had more sandboxy worlds like SH3. WoWS is nice, just nah.......

I prefer a singleplayer experience with co-op.

I've been clicking various links you guys noted hoping I could bump into any proper surface vessel mods.... Everything seems dated (understandably so). It be nice if I could at least find a destroyer, or fiddle with something until it works.

If you guys know of any hiding mods please do share them. I want to eventually blog about them as well, even if they'll go poof with time again.

I still love Silent Hunter 3 also because it shows what developers should be doing, yet refuse to do.

I found "atlantic fleet" somewhat similar but "real time turn based" . I know there are the SH4 mods that let you do career mode with some surface ships, thats pretty cool. Nothing really "properly" done.

Theres PotBS and Voyage Century, and black wake thats not quite the same thing though.

[ArcticuKitsu]

I think I'll check out Silent Hunter 4 to see how that plays out.

Atlantic Fleet I have, though not my cup of tea really. As a turn based game its just weird.

You will need to wait a while. But Wolfpack should eventually be getting playable destroyers as well.

Its definitely different, I was hoping for something more live on one ship myself. but at least it has projectile aiming and correction and stuff.

Theres a sh4 mod that has bismarc and prince something in it. The biggest downside is you have no collision boxes for hit detection and are basically invincible =\( or I forgot to turn off invulnerability in options xD )Also there are no visual differences other than the 3D model, inside is the same, graphs and crew menus.

Still, its pretty fun to fire those big guns ! =D

I'm thankful both KanColle & Azur Lane taught me names of the ships by making things fun.

Bismarck & Prinz Eugen (250RoundMags)

I don't mind the interior being the same because I did see you could have the bridge view when going to the bridge. That part is fine. I'll look into whatever is available once I have more time and when things are easier to reach. When its made difficult I tend to push it to the side for easier things.

I watched a video someone shared of having Tirpitz support Bismarck. That was quite a sight. He did something risky & daring, but I guess when you're in trouble you gotta do what you gotta do.

Sure, I guess I could wait. Playable destroyers would be fun at the least. Makes me wonder if there are any light cruisers and heavy ones. I even saw mention of being able to use aircraft carrier making me wonder how the hell you would operate those beasts.

Alright. Fun stuff.

If I could command Graf Zeppelin I could at the very least use her guns to shoot things in close combat, though its not recommended. Range is key.... Fun is fun, and a game is a game.

Thanks ,I thought it was , but wasnt sure and didnt want to sound like an idiot saying the wrong name xD

now I'll know to remember.

I LOVE the bridge view, its AWESOME! a 2D sketch of a ship wouldnt be cool for weapon and crew menus but thats ok.
I wonder how hard it would be to add?
even more cool would be hit detection for incoming fire xD

[BanDHMO]

Can anyone who tried those surface ship options comment on how they play? I always thought a game like this, but for a destroyer or cruiser would be either unrealistic or not fun to play. When a sub is detected by patrol planes, it can dive and escape, same when it runs into a superior enemy force. But a lone DD would be simply screwed. Unless you are talking about an Allied DD, where friendly navies have the seas on lockdown for you. But in that case all you'd do is hunt submarines, which are tricky to detect unless they are attacking something next to you.

Feels like to have a really good surface game you need collaboration with other friendly surface ships, and that would be a different engine entirely. Am I wrong? Is there a surface option that feels as good as commanding a u-boat in this game does?

[EmotionallyBroken]

Well atlantic fleet is "turn based" or "phase based" it is basically real time, but it pauses every "turn" . the game runs for 5- seconds simulating maybe 30 seconds of real time, then you chose your moves again. It makes sense given you are commanding multiple ships and stuff rather than just one ship.
I would try the surface ship mods for silent hunter.
You should try atlantic fleet too if you dont mind throwing 20 bucks at it.

Enigma: Rising Tide its not on steam that i have found, but its a lot like sh games with surface ships, subs, and even torpedo boats. its quite challenging too

[IIIIlllIIIII]

Destroyer command is good, SH2 engine though, but good and fun.

[ArcticuKitsu]

Alright, so after stalking a few updating WW2 games such as Dreadnoughts & Task Force Admiral I'm now back here trying to see if I can make sense of these mods again. There is once again less and less information.

Warship mod is linked to Filefront (dead). Googling, and Googling to find out if I can get a hold of any mod. I found a pair of Tribal stand-alones... Trying to get to it.

I'm checking out the 'Wolfpack' mod being redirected here finding no 'playable destroyers'.
http://www.thegreywolves.com/gwx3/

Maybe its under GWX3 and I'm just missing something, or maybe its in SH4 which I have to get instead.

Trying my best to make sense of this while oddly feeling under the weather. I still wish there was a proper surface warship game that isn't World of Warships.

Playable ships (SH4):

I love how I find a Tribal ship which I'm now strugglign to make sense of in how to install to SH3.

I'm looking for Sh3... I'm gonna be forced to buy SH4 eh?
