in the case of the not necessarily computer proficient it would be good to
understand what it is you want,
In general there are two types of mod players as far as I can tell
the conservatives and the radicals shall we call them
Now a conservative is trying to create conditions that simulate
living history, call this what was.
the radicals are more what if's
I am a bit of both, as a student of history I totally love SH3 for the same reasons as the conservatives.
but as a gamer I understand the nature of the radicals
when I play I play conservative when campaigning and radical is more
for missions in my case.
GWX provides an excellent Historical Background built on SH3 and I use it
I also override undermine it and rewrite if for my purposes as a pariah
in the case of GWX this was much harder to figure out than the original game.
there are many mods to give what you need and even many mission files available hereabouts at subsim, but you have to know what you want.
spysat mods will give you touch with every convoy, enhanced campaign files over load escorts, enhanced ai makes tougher escorts, extra guns torps power speed are all out there.
what is good is to look around for a week or two try things out ask questions form your own opinions. I have a sub that under the right
circumstances could sink an imperial star destroyer in orbit.
but that may not help you if your a conservative exclusively.
What I do is I take a basic package mod, these days GWX and I add in what mods I want to it. best of both worlds.
it is a very very very good idea in the case of the loving player, computer
wise or not, to be bothered learning how to manually install a mod without
JSGME their are things that you will have to do in support of mods like new ships where by you will have to make entries that JSGME wont. this isnt a big deal or hard to learn, just dont tell yourself you cant do it.
take your time shop around ask your fellow sub drivers what they like, if you find any that like what you do, ask them what they use.
Id recommend Sergebutos mod page and if you dont use GWX after all
I would then absolutely recommend his Air attacks mod part 1
damage mods and wake mods and sound mods add to immersion and are worth it for the ambiance, wether pariah or purist.
most people have links in their signatures to file front pages with their favorite mods or mods theyve made or shared in the development of.
click your way through these as you meet people.
above all read threads and stickys above all.
among the stickies youll locate tweaking tools that are fairly easy to use.
