Here are the changes to GWX in it's latest release as listed in the manual.
The ones in bold are AFAIK unique and not released before GWX as other mods.

I'm not sure, but I suspect the manual change log is not comprehensive...right?
  • The open hatch mod and diving duck's type II interior fixes
  • New model for one of the cruisers
  • OLC's environmental mod (Tweaked for GWX)
  • New and changed radio messages
  • New depth charge sounds
  • Bug fixes for bugs in the previous version.

The AA gun training school against aircrafts is more funny, the planes start to firing with machine gun fire and bomb my boat causing a flak gunner casualty ..

The luftwaffe commander and pilots must be under arrest and in a martial court.

Aren't there new funnel smoke effects in GWX3? I thought I read (before release) that there would be.
Or did I imagine that?

It will replace GWX's radio messages.
Not so much a conflict, as a change.

Does this mean that the OLCE mod (Or parts of it) are included with 3.0, or just that the two are definitely compatible? Silly question, I know.

Adding OLCs on top of GWX would I guess break the intended result as GWX contains a version of OLCs and GWXs enviroment

OLC said that it was okay to use his mod so long as you DO NOT enable the GWX 16km visibility mod first.
