I followed the development and release threads of GWX 2.0 and thought that I would give it a try again after leaving SH3 for about a year.
I have downloaded the pack and placed it over a fresh install of SH3, patched to 1.4, and have added the latest version of SH3 Commander.
I am playing on a Dell XPS 720 Dual Core with 4 gigs and dual NVIDIA 7800 GTS cards.
The team that developed this package has indeed done an incredible job, the details added really go along way toward making the game truly outstanding.
However, the attribute that drove me crazy with the initial release of SH3 is the crew management feature. I was not attracted to this game to become a seagoing personnel manager, I had hoped to command a submarine, not spend my time micromanaging the movements of the crew. It may just be my own ignorance of the procedures used to organize a U-boat crew, but I thought that the game might allow you to organize a watch, station and quarter bill for crew management, or a mod that would accomplish the same thing.
I attempted to used the crew management feature included in SH3 Commander and got a CTD after attacking first a single large ship, and then a convoy.
If there is something that I am missing, or another mod that would enhance this feature, I would welcome any suggestions.
If I was capable of building this mod, I would be the first to volunteer to build it. Unfortunately the knowledge that is required to do this, I have not yet acquired.

Respectfully Submitted
