After fixing my crash/reboot problem, which was an SH3 / onboard soundcard conflict and nothing to do with GWX, I've completed my academy training and started my first patrol last night.
Imagine how far my jaw dropped when, after playing vanilla SH3, I emerge from my moorings at Kiel only to find a living, breathing, fully-realised and noisy port going about it's business all around me! The icing on the cake being the Graf Zeppelin looming like a grey mountain through the cranes.
Unlike vanilla SH3, I'm going to ditch the auto TDC and use a combo of manual ID, speed calculating and final rangefinding before making my weapons officer earn his crust by doing all the AOB maths. (It worked pretty well in the academy, although I put one or two fish just past the stern 'cos I looked stupidly at the WO's solution on the map before firing.)
Stopped doing that now - he's the expert and I trust him with my renown
