[INFO] Essential & great-to-have resources for SH3

[Hitman]

***** IF YOU FIND ANY DEAD LINK PLEASE POST HERE AND LET ME KNOW! *****

This thread will compile the links to the threads with the essentials and the great-to-haves. It won't include everything, and you can search for the rest in the downloads section; but it will include the most popular mods. If you feel like other popular mods should be included, post here and I will add it.

Mods or threads that have lots of traffic due to novelty or other reasons will be stickied by themselves until I consider they can be moved here to prevent them from being lost in the depths of the forum.

Only 50 threads=1 page. Lucky for you

This is just my opinion, but Ocean Blue's Torpedo Damage Final really should be included in the list:

The link is for v2, as that's the one I use. I assume v1 is readily available also

Nope, I did it before the widescreen option was available, so it's old 4:3

[Hitman]

Sorry for the late reply, right now I'm retired from naval sims and don't work on mods I check here frequently and follow IABL's mod closely, but for now I'm away from the seas.

Added link to the war-elite mod mantained now by Blitzkrieg. It's in the extra units section, if you think it is instead a full supermod let me know and I will switch it to the proper section.
