The circle means the lead escort in the convoy is a submarine, wish it meant that all the escorts were comprised of submarines but it just means the lead one. If you're surfaced they'll fire their deck gun at you, and are extremely hard to hit; stay submerged and they are harmless. They can't even fire torpedoes at you even if you're surfaced and not moving!

If I had the opportunity to just install one mod for SH3 what would the group say is the best choice? I like to go with the best first from the experts...

Welcome aboard!

"The group" won't have a single opinion on the matter, too many choices available and preferences are all individual and subjective.

If you are looking for a supermod, you can choose from GWX, WAC, NYGM, and... LSH, I think. There should be a stickied thread for each in the Mods Workshop Forum, which would be the best place to find out what each one has to offer and ask for info.

Although it's not a mod, but a standalone program, probably the one thing most everyone here would recommend is SH3 Commander. Stickied thread for that also in the Mods Workshop.

With modding, it really is a matter of individual preference and what things YOU would like to see added to the game or removed from the game or enhanced in some way. If you have a particular preference or "wish-list" then make it known, that way you'll get recommendations of mods that will better suit your needs and desired style of play.

Welcome Butch!

As FK said, mods are highly subjective and there's not likely to be a single monolithic opinion on what's best. It all comes down to personal taste, so by all means try out a few of the more popular ones (stickied in the mods forum) and see what you think.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am not familier with the terms being used yet.

Great site by the way. Fantastic and friendly atmosphere. Thank you.

That means that you must be in port either before a patrol or after a patrol.

I'm new to this forum / discussion. I followed the forum in SH3 for years and loved it. This is quite a change. I've been on patrol for a long time now and still enjoy the game. I had a "vanilla" install so as to keep the game as it was. I recently downloaded GWX and it's kind of new to me but it appears to be cool ! Thanks for being here.......
