Default GWX for Swabs?

I'm new, and am wondering what advice you'd give: should I stay with stock SHIII while I figure it out and then figure out GWX, or just go straight to GWX and save the trouble of figuring stock SHIII out? I'm gathering that GWX escorts are ace, just from the "Das Boot plays SH4" spoofs.

(Let's just assume for the moment that I could be talking about any super mod, not just GWX.)

Its completely up to you, but I personally would say go with GWX. If you go with stock first you might get caught out when you try and take on escorts in GWX.

GWX ruuuullleeeessss...AAALLLAAARM!!!!

(ohhhhh...I'm a "chief", never liked been a frogman anyway lol)

Play stock for a month to get a feel of the game then move on up to GWX 1.03

As Steed rightly says
Give stock a bash for a month or so to get used to the game
You will appreciate the GWX changes more that way also

Yup. play stock for a month, consider it training. It's the same game but GWX allows you fewer mistakes, plus it is a lot more intense and realistic

Yes stock for a month is a good idea.
Then try one of the supermods.

Did you just buy SH3? If so, stick with it for about, oh, a month and then move on to GWX. By the way, I hope you have a 56K connection or faster.

Lol yeah, otherwise you might be there downloading all the files for about a week! If you do have a slow speed connection PM me and I'll see about posting the files on a disk to you.
