Lehmann, I first played your mod when I was around 17/18 and it was one of the most fantastic gaming experiences I have ever had.
Combined with SH3 Speech there are moments from that era I have been chasing the dragon to find again.
The technical achievement, the level of detail and historical accuracy gave me so much to chew on and discover in ways no museum tour, documentary or anything ever good.
Moreover the experience spilled over from just a game, the knowledge I gained and the long hours of contemplation whilst I listened to the gramophone before being suddenly interrupted to sink some tonnage had me thinking about war, the duality of man and empathy with people on the "other" side.
I feel a better more enlightened person, stupid as it sounds, thanks to playing GWX so much.
I recently found myself playing UBOAT now that has released and whilst it's pretty damn close and it some ways surpasses what is possible under the SH3 engine (particularly when modded) it never quite reached the depths of GWX.
With the release and many of those mods requiring an update being left out to dry I couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed and yearned for GWX again.
However I have been spoiled by ultrawide and 32gb of ram, along with an already complicated install process made worse by different versions of windows resulting in GWX and the hardcode fixes never quite working right.
To see that you guys have come together again to make GWX KC fills me with a hope I haven't felt in year, an absolute joy and slight tear in the eye.
You guys are an absolute inspiration in so many ways I can not convey to you through words.
I thank you and your entire team from the absolute bottom of my heart and I wish all of you the very very best in all aspects of your lives.
