I have used Win10, Steam, SHIII via Steam, GWX3 and Widescreen GUI 1920x1080 (Ahnenerbe) with no problems.
The attention to detail with Ahnenerbe is outstanding. I have one issue (having used it with GWX3 only) is the Whiz-wheel on the periscope is not accurate for range. Nor are the mil readings on the scope. (which might be a GWX issue?). For example: with a 6x periscope setting, a 25M target height (mast or whatever) should give a range of 2000 meters at 50mils.
It does not.
If this was fixed up the mod would be near PERFECT.
PERFECT would be another option to get rid of the Whizwheels for newer scopes circa 41 and after. I will defer to Hitman or some other historical observer of this area of interest. But it would be unlikely for a VIIC sub to have any whizwheels on the scopes (as if it was part of the stadimeter...which we know SHIII does not accurately replicate anyway.)
Again though Ahnenerbe is just really nice.
