Set Up and Configurations

[E.Hartmann]

Mates,
This might be a loaded question but I would love some help here. I resently reloaded my SH3. It was a soft download and I read the manual and stuff but need some help here. Its an easy question really:

I am running the full patched SH3
I have GWX 1.2 loaded and running with no issues
I have also loaded the patch for this with the new cfg.

Heres' my questions:

I use 100% realism (yep I send a lot of shot past and behind but score about 50% hits)
I have no external view or event view.

I'm eight patrols in with about 12, 300 sunk and most of this is lone merchants. I will snap shot a spread at the fattes merchants and then turn and run. I can then come back and pick off the stragglers with my deck gun or practice more torp shots. On a few occasions I've radioed contacts and actually had a Stuka come in an take out a destroyer guarding three merchants and I picked them off one by one then. My morale is good and my renown is high enough to start upgrading my crews skill sets.

Questions?:
What other mods do you all run?
What valid links can I follow to get them?
I guess I'm looking for a one shot post with everything a person needs

Finally, I see these great screen shots of external cameras. I know that having external even camera on drops realism and I'd like to start a second career with this on so that I could view. So how do you get external camera and does Event Camera need to be on to get external camera?

I've been reading the forums for a few weeks now and participating in some post and this looks to be a great community. Thanks for the help and support and I look forward to end of the month as well. SH4 Pacific is looking sweet indeed.

Ok I"m an idiot (I am a swabbie) I jsut saw the Newbie post directly above mine. Guess I need to read the forums a bit more!!!

But I guess what mods do most run? is still valid
and the external camera is as well.

Thanks gang!

Most run GWX with SH3 Commander. I have never used Commander but other say it is great. Personally GWX and a few other smaller mods are great for me. I also use Sobers Water Mod and Ocean Blues Torpedo damage mod.

When I'm installed back my HD SH3+GWX, I played couple days without SH3cmr. Read about it here and installed. It's like IL2Stab which I used when playing IL-2 series. You can live without it but still.... ;)

Thanks guys! Looking forward to adding a few mods. I'm running 102 GWX now, and have another question. Does it autoload the SH3 that comes with it, or do I go into the SH3 folder and launch them there?

I guess I also need to get the Mod manager as well right?

the mod manager comes with GWX
its in the main SH3 folder and is called JSGME:up:
if you want to add mods put them in the folder "MODS" inside the sh3 main folder
and then enable via JSGME

There's a program called SH3multi, I've not to use it being stubborn I just reinstall or use JSGME. SH3Commander is the nutz, I mainly use it for crew management but it also creates some varialbles I use to switch CE responces etc. Get used to rollback if you try / switch mods.

There are TONS of individual mods, then more intense mods like harbour_traffic, then "supermods" such as GWX, NYGM, & W.A.C. Each makes changes to gameplay, bouancy - identification, details, all that jazz. I recomend reading the manuals-help files for the ones your considering, and decide from what your looking to gain. Alot of people may disagree with me but I don't recomend any supermod, even the one I use for a new user untill they get their feet wet a bit.
Asking what mods to use in this forum is a bit like tossing gas on a fire. Most will jump in like coyotes on a gut pile and recomend the one they favor like it is the greatest thing since sliced cheese. And with due cause because they all contain alot of talent. But it tends to smoke alot of the other mods people have put good work into.
