Actually, GWX is playable with SH3's original recommened requirements. It's been the main driving force of GWX to keep the game playable for people who only meet this requirement. |

With the
recomended requirements, yes. Not with the minumum. Rather than relate my own experiences, allow me to quote the GWX 1.03 Manual:
The Grey Wolves Expansion (GWX) team suggests your computer meet the recommended system configuration requirements for Silent Hunter III, and that you use the Silent Hunter III Detection Tool to determine whether your system meets these requirements. We have found that running with less than the recommended configuration can result in choppiness and low frame rates (frames per second), and can occasionally result in freezing or locking up your game.
Throw in the 16km mod (a requirement IMHO to fix the blind crew problem) and... well... shall I quote the manual again? I doubt I need to.

However, I suspect that if, during the developement of GWX, the Devs decided to keep the original file structures & formats, GWX would indeed be unplayable on the recommened specs.

I think people often confuse loading time with "system requirement."

Please, give me a little credit... I'm a software developer myself.
As I already stated, I was stepping to the defense of SH3, not the attack of GWX.
