[Kaleun Joachim Schepke]

Hello to everyone! :D


Hope this is the right place for this Question^^ I´m installed SH3 after a long time again but i don´t know which Mod/MegaMod i should use. Which one is better and which do you more recommend? GWX, Living Silent Hunter or maybe WAC? :)


Sorry for my bad english


Greetings!:Kaleun_Salute:

Sorry, but there is no "better". All are good, and all have something different to offer. If you want the best-looking game, use LSH3. For the most accurate gameplay (and the hardest one to survive), choose NYGM. WAC gives you the best campaign scenario, and GWX provides the best combination of gameplay, graphics and campaign.

WAC 5.2 is just amazing on everything.

- best looking sub
- best looking effects
- best looking flags
- best looking harbors
- very good looking ships
- best convoys behavior
- very good AI
- awesome campaign

The counterpart is you need a very good PC to run it comfortably :yep:

This is most certainly the right place to ask such question!
As Steve described, choosing which megamod to use (if any) should base on your personal preference on what do you want from the game. More detailed descriptions and comparisons can be found on forums, for example:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2192013#post2192013 (might not reflect everyone's opinion)

What megamods to add on top of those is also a matter of preference. You can find modlists posted by salty veterans from which you can draw inspiration. Popular enhancements are esthetic mods like widegui, MEP, soundpacks etc. Some of these are also included in some megamods like LSH. Then there are lots of little things like removing the "jawohl herr kaleun" after a command which might make your experience a bit better.

I’m a big NYGM nut. Who needs harbors! You don’t spend much time there anyway! You want the thrill of being hunted? You want to make your game suspenseful? Imagine every move you make could mean success or doom?

NYGM

-serious DD AI
- gloomy claustrophobic subs
- less CTD
- awesome platform for 100% realism

Come to the dark side my friend! Knowing that you are going to sea with NYGM, will make you party hard at that cat house in La Rochelle like in Das Boot... it may be your last party! Muwahahaha!!!!!

TKSS18 uboat compilations are your awesome sub interiors and ahnaberbe is the wide screen hud that is just crazy! Give it a try.

[Kaleun Joachim Schepke]

Thank you for all the answers! :) Well i still can´t decide which Mod i should use. I´m thinking about WAC, LSH and GWX at the Moment :hmmm:

Glad you managed to narrow it down :O:

[bstanko6]

Those are the training wheel mods!!! NYGM ALL THE WAY!!!

[Wolfcat]

I had GWX before but later switched to WAC. I love those eye candies and great campaigns. I would say it is a good combination of many different mods.
It may not be as difficult as NYGM, but harder than vanilla and LSH. LSH has the best graphics, but WAC is not far behind. I am currently playing it on full realism. Sometimes it can be quite challenging. The only drawback is its high hardware requirement.

[Randomizer]

I don't care about eye candy and never use the external camera so my favourites are GWX3 and NYGM. WAC and LSH take a long time to load, almost 30-minutes for LSH and >20-minutes for WAC compared to less than 5-minutes for GWX3 and less for NYGM.

I currently have careers on the go in all four super-mods and if simulation is your thing try NYGM or GWX but if you prefer spectacle then LSH or WAC might serve you better.

This isn't an one-or-the-other thing and you can have them all if you want.

I used to play with LSH. If your rig is powerfull enough, give it a try. It´s a very goog mod and you get support here - if you wish in german language.
Years ago, there was a small group, playing LSH online via tunngle and skype for communication. That was very nice.

[Wolfcat]

My WAC loading takes about 7 min max. Definitely not 20 minutes. Game loading is pretty short. Just some mission loading and saved career loading take about 7 minute.
