I just spotted a sub trailing a convoy on the surface.

Pros and Cons of GWX, hmmmm....
Lotsa pros, very few cons from my point of view.

The water is maybe a little too murky for 3D cam gaming fun. If you're into realism you'll see that as a pro.

I'm not a fan of a couple of the mods, but the solution for that is easy enough. And the things I don't like, you might like...

The only reason I could give you for NOT installing GWX immediately would be to play the standard patched game for like 2 or 3 careers just so you'll be able to appreciate how much GWX adds to the game.

Other than that it's a no-brainer...

If you play the mod with SH3 Commander set the water clarity in the SH3 Options tab to 20 (18 is stock value) :up:

I see I'm gonna have to install that...

Can SubCommander and GWX be installed at the same time without any issues?

Yes but you need to download and install the SH3 commander- GWX files which you can get from either the GWX site or the Jonesoft site.

There are only two cons to GWX.

The first is that the present version (1.03) pretty much quadruples the load time. I understand that the soon to be released 1.04 will reduce it somewhat.

The second is that if your PC isn't that new, it will put a lot more strain on it.

Even for newish PC's like mine, if you find yourself in the middle of some of the bigger new campaign features, such as Operation Dynamo, things may slow down so much that you have to spend hours at 1x time compression.

But that sort of event is rare, and you can always avoid them if you don't fancy trying to intercept the hundreds of vessels zipping across der Kanal. But that's too much for me to resist :arrgh!:

If your gonna use SH3 Commander with GWX you will need to download the GWX102+Cfg4SH3Cmdr.zip also: :up:

Is installing SH3 Commander with GWX considered a good idea, do most of you do this or is it unecessary?

Most defimitely YES...............SH3 Commander is a must have IMO :rock:
