After some learning to live with some game-breaking bugs, I'm having a great time with SHIII.

I departed Wilhelmshaven on the 1st of September 1939 aboard KMS Deustchland. We resupplied with a German ship near Las Palmas, and set course for Cape Town. Around Dakar we encountered a lightly escorted convoy, and sank all the vessels. A long time later, we reached Cape Town. During the night attack, we sank three merchants and one armed trawler. We then set off to attack St. Helena, but weather conditions prevented it. We then set off to another resupply, and, despite an interception from an armed trawler and MTB near Dakar, we once more resupplied at Las Palmas. On the way back to Wilhelmshaven, we encountered another convoy, escorted by destroyers and a submarine. Yet again, all vessels were sunk. Between the Orkneys and Norway, we were intercepted by HMS Hood and an unifentified Nelson class battleship. We engaged in battle, but soon broke off due to damage. Enemy casualties were observed. We returned to Wilhelmshaven on the 19th of November 1939. I was awarded the Iron Cross (2nd and 1st class) and the Kriegsmarine badge and clasp.

Vids soon :cool:

BTW, can someone tell me how to get SHIII full screen but with proper resolution? I'm seeing everything a bit squashed :doh:

I haven't tried http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174225 yet, heard so much great things about it. Sounds like TDW patcher for SH5.

GWX.

Been having some trouble getting it to run for me with GWX. Everytime I get near where Jutland took place the thing crashes for some reason.(I think it's the British getting revenge from beyond the grave.)

I'm seeing everything a bit squashed :doh:Let your graphicscard settings stretch the screen, but let it keep the aspect ratio (4:3). You will have to accept the black bands on the side. It's one or the other. The game doesn't allow for widescreen resolutions (unless with specific gui mods)
