All I can say here is,if you like SH3 and you also like things to be as realistic as possible then GWX3 is for you,and make sure you also get the Commander 3.2 addon too,this incorporates many improvements as far as your career goes,and allows you to change/tweak certain aspects of the game to your liking.
Performance wise,if your graphics card has at least 256MB of onboard memory (with latest drivers) and your system has at least 2GB of RAM GWX3 should run fine,however,frames DO take quite a hit near ports so begin your patrol a way out to sea first (enabled via Commander),or enable 'lite traffic' through the GWX mods setup screen.The 16km atmosphere mod also impacts performance but not too much in my experience.This mod is an essential for me as it allows you and your crew to spot ships a lot further out than in the stock game.
Trust me,it is worth it,and over time it will develop you into a better captain due to the increased difficulty,especially when under air attack!
If war at sea is hell then GWX3 is the devil!

Good luck.
