New here, couple of questions...

[panzermeyer]

Hello,

I am new here, however I've been playing SH3 on and off since it came out. Anyway I recently started again, and downloaded the 'Real Uboat' mod. As far as i understand this is a good mod? Is it reccomended, do a lot of people use it?

I noticed this other mod, 'GWX' what type of mod is it? What does it add? I tried looking for a FAQ or an 'About' page but found none. How is this mod compared to Real Uboat, or are they different type of mods?

Thank you.

Welcome Panzermeyer

GWX is a separate mod that is great but you need a clean SH3 installation upgraded to 1.4. You should also have the latest version of SH3 Commander (2.7 I think). That is a program separate from SH3 or GWX but is highly recommended.

Read some of the post regarding it and you will notice that everyone is raving about it.

Go with GWX, you won't regret it.

Thank you for the promt replies.

Btw is there a main thread or site with what the mod is all about, the features, which it includes and so on?

http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/GWX/features.html You should find SOME features here

And manual: http://mysite.orange.co.uk/manual/GWX/GWX_MANUAL_EN_PF.pdf (That's printer friendly version, couldn't find the correct one)

[antikristuseke]

The not so printer friendly version comes with the mod when its installed, in the documentation subfolder in the sh3 folder.

WOW,

Just started my first career with the 2nd Flottila. I was hoping to make it through the English Channel before the outbreak of war, but war broke out while I was in the middle of the channel.

Now I am facing a V&W(?) Warship. I fired 2 torpedos while it was comming straight at me. I was already submerged. I fired them straight at the front of the ship (bow?). I set the depth at 5m, and the torpedo passed under, thought I missed. However it exploded below the ship (magnetic?). The second torpedo missed, because the warship started maneuvering.

The hit didn't kill it, but damaged it. I believe it to be sinking as it seems its going lower and lower into the water. Its speed is now a constant 5knts, not even trying to go after me, its moving away. Now I am just trying to get into possition to finnish it.

Anyway, this is a great mod, much more suspensfull, deep and well thought out as well. It feels like a totally different game. Thank you.

Can't wait to finnish of the warship tomorrow.
