SH3 mods? I've made a list in the past and this probably won't be as good as that one was, but I can't find it now.

NYGM: The main emphasis is on accurate AI. The enemy are very efficient and probably as realistic as it can get with the game engine involved. Little goodies include the "anti-hummingbird" function, which means that if you try to stop and hover underwater you'll slowly start sinking.

LSH3: A lot of work has gone into making the SH3 world come alive. Brilliantly rendered harbors and ships make it feel real.

WAC: Has an extremely good overall campaign, with historic warship movements and battles.

GWX: Has the best balance between all of the above, which is why it's still the most popular.

And don't forget SH3 Commander, which complements any supermod you choose with a host of controls and details which add to whatever campaign you choose.

Also, try Multi-SH3, which lets you run and organize several games on the same PC. That way you can compare them for yourself.
