GWX had their own version for awhile. It made the boat rise, and only a couple of meters. People got so good at cheating it that it became a joke, and they took it out. If any of the others have it, I'm unaware of it.
Aces Of The Deep came with the best version: if you were silent running the boat would begin to sink slowly, and the LI would tell you that you had to run the pumps.
@ BillCar: The first really good supermod was RUB (Real U-Boat). It changed a lot of the way the game played and has grown in NYGM. It focuses on making the AI and the gameplay as good as it can get.
GWX started off as GW, and used some of the same ideas on gameplay, but its main focus was improving the graphic environment, so much so that some people claimed that GW was "Eye candy only". This wasn't true, but it led to a much stronger effort on the part of that team to make an excellent gameplay mod that still had great graphics. And they succeeded.
WAC (War Ace Campaign) focuses on adding all the events of the naval war, so everything is covered. One of their hallmarks (for me anyway) is the Kiel Canal. In the stock game it isn't even there. It was created as a stand-alone mod, and has since been adopted by all the supermods (and SH4). GWX does a nice job of making it feel more real, but WAC includes the real bridges over the canal, including the stone 'castle' bridge by the entrance and the rotating railroad bridge, which really rotates! Eye candy, I know, but for someone like me who loves to look at the sights it's a wonderful thing.
LSH3 (Living Silent Hunter 3) is the one I know the least about, but its supporters say it's as good as any of them.
I recommend getting Multi-SH3 and trying them all. You might be surprised by which one grabs you the most. Everybody who does this has a different experience.
And don't forget SH3 Commander, the ultimate SH3 tool. It works with all of them, and is to me the absolute most important part of the game.
