EDIT - @Jim, where did that figure come from?

Number of torrent downloads (site admin....private/invite ;)...also included figure of 3000 IIRC from Gizzmoe a month back) + numbers accumulative from FF :up:

I haven't tried NYGM, but I have gotten GWX recently. Let me tell you I am trying very hard to find fault. In case no one noticed, I am a Type II fan (hence the sig): Saw first fault: AH! They gave an extra torp to the type II. I did some research and could only find 5 torps... so I though "...this is no good". :nope: Then someone here tells me that in real life they would carry 6...now that to me is taking realism to the extreme...which I like! Who cares if it was only supposed to carry 5...seriously, if you were in a Type II during the war, wouldn't you stuff as many torps as she would carry? I'm sure they did too... :up: Excellent stuff.

My second criticsm was that they made the uniforms too rigid and alike. But then when you examine how they dress in Das Boot or you look at old u-boot photos, they aren't really like the stock SH3 but more like GWX. Stock SH3 looks like the crew were in a charity shop when a bomb went off. A bit OTT in my opinion...

Third criticsm...they gave the Type II a paint job. But...so what? Every photo I have seen of a Type II is exactly like the one in GWX with just a hint of rust...not the rust bucket stock SH3 gave us.

So my only criticsm left is the bagpipe music...which isn't bad just slightly long. And that's just a matter of taste...also considering I love all the other music...:yep:

As for the visuals...let me give you some examples:

Stock SH3 without GWX (with my old FX5500)

With GWX and my new graphics card (Radeon X1650 Pro)...look how beautiful she looks :cool:

And this picture I find breathtaking....it has so much detail and adds so much to how the stock game looked...this picture looks very realistic even for a flight sim:

And you guys with your powerful graphics cards can do even better...GWX is easily worth money...and we get it for free...what more do you want? :up:

Here is the link to the manual so you know what GWX includes.

Thanks, the link to the manual didnt work but I'm downloading GWX with the new 1.02 patch today!

Hi there it seems that with the realese of the new patch the is a new manual as well the other one was taken down. So here is the link to the new and upto date manual.

@Einbaum

This is the point were you say, 'The proof is in the pudding'......I'll have seconds please. GWX is a nice piece of super mod work.

Well, at good old Terrapin's site... one of the headlines states that 2.5 TERRABYTES of GWX data was downloaded from there this month. http://mpgtext.net/u-boot/

I wonder how many DL's that amounts to.

(I think I'm on his poop list though. I overlooked getting him a copy of GWX prior to release day.) :-?

Well you cant please everyone all of the time but you sure try.

GWX and NYGM are a very beatiful mods, :up:

I Always have to change things with a personalised pack , for example some sounds , change map tools like protractor and ruler add a nomograph, uniforms, boat skins, sea floor, but by the other way are a very good start point for everybody who wants an Expansion withouth problems and the pain of merge together a lot of small mods.

Alot of players dont like GWX because they are arcade players and prefer the arcade like stock SHIII with one shot kills:D

I love GWX it rocks :up:

True, but I would dare say more have come the 'Darkside' and loaded GWX!

I ask myself, without GWX would I still be playing SH3?

nope :D

Tried Both NYGM GWX

All:

i have tried both NYGM and GWX and I loved them both. I think the number one thing to rember is DO YOU as the player like the mod(s) you have installed thats what is important :D Secondly, I think its great that there are people out there making mods that we can all enjoy...my two cents

Man, I wouldn't be the same Kaleun without GW.:smug:

Sticks and stones......
