If you're a "graphics whore", definitely yes. :p

If you're more into difficulty, you may consider NYGM, but nothing beats the overall design effort on GWX.

Quoted for truth.

I absolutely, completely 100% disagree. Grey Wolves has always had the stigma of being an "eye candy" mod, but that's completely changed in the latest version, GWX.

Small confession, ive often thought about taking all the fixes and making, what could essentually be patch 1.5. But im too lazy and nobody would use it anyway.

To the OP, or you can go half way between stock and a super-mod by simply adding a few yourself. For example I'm using improved convoys, more realistic sensors, Leigh Lights, a bunch of eye candy mods ( moon, sky, etc..), and a few others.

edit: Why would you want mods that do not require 1.4b patch!? Needless to say you must patch SHIII to 1.4b, for all it's improvements.

i personally would try out stock sh3 for a few weeks just to get a feel for the game, then install GWX with SH3commander 2.7. then you can really appreciate the changes that have been made :up:

I played stock for a year before I got Grey Wolves 1.1a. and had that for 5-6 months before GWX.

The stock is a good way to get a feel of the game before you start with GWX, NYGM. Dont bother with IuB or RuB because they wher TedyBar's (and Kpt. Lehmann's ?) first mods.

I played the stock SHIII for 3 months after it´s release march-05.
Then I came back to the game just before x-mas -06.
Think I played at least 35 patrols without any crew lost or damage to the boat.
Heck....I don´t even think I met a destroyer until mid-43.
My point is that the stock game is far to easy.

After reading a lot of posts here about GWX I decided to install that mod and SH-Commander.
I´m very happy I did. It looks alot nicer, more different ships to sink and a bigger challenge with all the tuff DD´s and airplanes. :rock:

/VV

Right! Play a few times with the Stock one, just so you can really compare what kind of improvment the modders have done to the game, once you install NYGM or GWX...or both!:rock::rock:

Im willing to bet, i could take the stock game, and make it HARDER then GWX. :smug:

edit: acutally ive always had the odd notion to make a mod compilation that alters stock the most dramatically with the smallest filesize of a mod release. Adding no new units, and using no graphics. But as ive said, nobody plays stock, waste of time. lol

The only reason i can think of to play stock is to pass the training missions. With gwx and nygm passing the gunnery, torpedo, and flak training missions is either very difficult or pretty much impossible

What's that?



Are yes it's all coming back to me now. ;)

Why would he bother with the Naval Academy!

NYGM is not based on renown.

SH3Commander - is everyone using this with their GWX ??? looks like this is just some nice add on for the medals and officer faces etc. ???

SH3Cmd and SH3Gen are a MUST in every version of SH3, and that includes GW/NYGM and GWX.:yep:

AFAIK SH3Cmdr is the most popular adittional programme to GWX :yep:
