GWX 1.04 Developmental Update / Sneak-Peak

[Kpt. Lehmann]

As Promised: I am posting an official update on GWX version 1.04 development.

We are taking a serious approach concerning the lack of AI submarine activity in SH3. We began to address this issue in GWX version 1.0... and the trend will run its course with GWX version 1.04.
In GWX version 1.04, you can expect to see the following AI subs.

British S Class AI Sub by JU88 and Ref



British T Class AI Sub by JU88 and Ref



Italian Adua Class AI Sub by JU88 and Ref. Special thanks to Scire' for information assistance



Russian Scuka Class AI Sub by JU88 and Ref



These things are the tip of the iceberg as far as content is concerned. A great deal of stuff has been completed... or is currently in various stages of production. It is still too early to speak of release dates... but I assure you that the diesels producing GWX v1.04 are running as fast as they can be safely pushed.

I also would like to take the opportunity to address a bit of rumor control. :wink:
GWX version 1.04 will be our final update for GWX/SH3. The only things that may follow are critical corrective updates... (God, I hope we don't need to do that... but we are certainly not perfect people. ) ... and hopefully the eventual consolidation of GWX into a single mod package.

Unfortunately, there will be no "GWX version 1.05." It is important that we choose a logical end-point to our little adventure... and to release GWX Dev Team members from heavy work and obligations. Apart from the challenges of modding SH3, building GW and GWX has been very tough in real-life terms. It has generated very real stress... and at times, has tested friendships. Some sacrifices are just unreasonable.

We choose to end our story on a high note.

I assure you though, that the decision to lay down our tools... is a very difficult one. Words do not come easily. We have poured our hearts and souls into this work... and have developed a closeness with the history of the Battle of the Atlantic... and the battles our families fought... not so long ago. We've been able to touch that history in a way that would not otherwise be possible without this project.

SH3 will certainly continue to keep some of its "quirks" but hopefully, we have made the journey worth the trouble for new and old users.

To all those who have supported us in word and deed for so long... Thank You!!!

More next week... Time permitting, I will try to post weekly developmental updates.

Sincerely,

Kpt. Lehmann
GWX Dev Team

Excellent work. But soviet submarine need reworked. For example - sich conning tower was before WWII, but all boats SHCH class during WWII have standart conning towers only. And more. Submarine was have 2 45mm guns. In screenshot I saw 1 20mm Oerlicon in fore position only. 45mm guns have in Liliput library in link:

Sich conning tower Shch submarine was during 1933-1937 years.
1 45mm gun have submarine III serie only.

Thanks for the advice, I'll take a look at them, as I don't speak russian, can you ask Liliput for me if we can use his guns on GWX?.

When Liliput saw in ICQ so question him about. I think, that he would be agree.

Sounds great, Kpt. Those subs look fantastic! You mentioned that we would encounter both surfaced and submerged subs. They won't be able to dive, will they? IIRC, that's a stock SH3 problem that can't be fixed.

Thanks for all the hard, volunteer work GWX Dev Team. You all should relax and enjoy RL for awhile.

Brilliant stuff GWX team!. I still got SH3 installed here...just waiting for the patch. Keep up the steam and roll it out...when ready of course

Unfortunately, there will be no "GWX version 1.05."

But hopefully a SH4 venture around the corner

[rik007]

This looks very promising indeed! Waiting for the next update.

Dear Kpt. Lehmann and GWX devteam,

many thanks for all effort you have put into this great sim . I have played this sim many many times with all major and minor mods from the very begining of the SHIII releas. GWX is the corona . I'm sure there will be more new mods based on GWX 1.04. However, I think the great GWX will always be the basement of these future mods. Keep up the good work . Many thanks for GWX!
