I was wondering what the overall percentage was of the whole mods thing? You play one of the supermods, like GW or NYGM, or do you play the stock game? Or maybe the stock game plus a few small mods? Whatchya do?

Speaking of GW, what's some ways to figure out if you got a critical hit on the ship? Sinking takes FOREVER now.

Sinkings takes a while as the GW mod uses the NYGM damage model that means ships sink by flooding rather than just blow up
Aim for different areas of ship
Ships can still explode if hit in the right areas
The damage model is all new in GWX

Sometimes i get ships that say theyre sunk, but are still there after days and hours, do these ships sink eventually or what?

GW1.1a

But I have "tweaked" it. Added in a few minor details. Subtracted a few things.

I think I used some sounds from Improved U-boat that I liked better, etc.

Stock SH3 for me - for now. I'm waiting on GWX and NYGM TW 2.2, at which time I'm going to treat myself to two installations.

I wanted to start with the stock game so I'd have a better appreciation for the efforts made in the supermods. I'm waiting because... well... the anticipation is actually fun as well. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. :D

Cruising the Mediterranean based out of La Spezia, with GW with the Das Boot sounds sprinkled in here and there (I had no idea that GW's torpedo impact sound was taken directly from Das Boot until I watched it again this past weekend...hee hee!) and loving it :up:

Stock SH3 for me, except for a few mdos & tweaks that make life a bit easier such as plotting tools, "ctrl-enter" to fire torpedos, etc.
I may go with one of the supermods in the future, but I do not like the "all or nothing" approach. The mods change some things that I'm perfectly happy to live with.

SH3 43% with the only mod of loading out the sub wuth the torpedos of your choice...and no spamming

What I'm really most happy about the supermods, is that they ACKNOWLEDGE THE USSR'S NAVY. I mean really, Ubi, wtf? Forget one of the greatest airforces of the time, and then forget the navy that had to hold off the U-Boats in the East. It didn't stand up to the German, Jap, and British navy at the time (although a few years later its navy surpassed all 3 of those put together :D), but it was still pretty damn important.

GW 1.1a + smaller mods, and not to forget SH3 Commander.

SH3 with SH3C and some 30 odd mods, I will be giving GW ago next year after I updated my PC for SH4 so it will be a double good year next year. :D

Stock now, but once I've bought a better pc, I shall upgrade to GW (or GWX by the time I got the money covered...:cool:).

Kind regards,

NYGM 2.0.

I have tried Grey Wolves too and it looks promising, but I can`t get the weather to work properly. I get blue skies when the forecast says heavy fog. And yes, I have tried different drivers for my video card without success so in the end I gave it up.

GW 1.1a, SH3 Commander and SH3Gen. Starting to lose sleep waiting on GWX.:dead:

Heavily modded, but at my own discretion. I use bits and pieces from RUB, GW, NYGM and a bunch of single mods that I like.

SH3 + GW1.1a + SH3 Commander + SH3 Gen + SH3 Weather, plus many other new ships.

Was on patrol last night, sank 4 ships, different sizes, most went down with 3 torps max, some with great explosions, my only complaint was sinking a larger cargo ships and not getting credit for it. I was in rough seas, no ammo left, it was shooting its deck gun at me, but I did see it sink , but no credit.

Great patrol though, enjoyed using the ship recognition book as far as setting torp depth and switching to impact rather than magnetic detonation.

Looking forward to GWX.

Some noob might even tell you to look around or EVEN recommend GW, cause it's an excellent mod. :p

BTW, I use SuperModded SH3. The only way to go. As UBI meant it to be, but ran out of time.

(#3. Is that the quickest off topic reply ever? And for his own thread too:o.)

I will play whatever my damn system decides is appropriate and will not crash the lot or judder to a standstill at any given moment. I'm really not competent enough to decide what is best for me (thats obviously my PCs job).

Only had a computer capable of running SH3 properly for a couple of months so I'm running normal SH3 with a few mods but no supermods yet!

We run stock 1.4b. We do mostly online multiplayer games, and find that this is the best way to keep things simple, ensure a level playing field, fast load-up times and maximum compatibility with newcomers to the game. (We've tried UBA and GW, but both caused a lot of problems for us -- they were designed for single-player campaigns, I'm sure.) So, it's back to "stock" for now.
