Tried GWX3..

Finally got the time to D/L GWX the other day, after drooling over the manual for almost a week wondering if my PC can handle it... little to no change so far. Ports still lag as much as vanilla SH3, open sea still just as smooth as vanilla SH3. Surprising, considering the amount of traffic and ambient ports added by GWX. The seas are much more crowded now but even my weak computer can't tell the difference. Very well done, developers!

Hydrophone sucked before.. now he seems more capable, and the ability to randomly detect things while nosing into a swell is very nice.

Can the planes in the Flak training mission get any more GODLY? Managed to down 5 for graduation, but ran out of ammo on the remainder. Used lots of hit and dive tactics with much success (0 damage to sub but many close calls), after a failed first attempt (dead sub).

Can't wait to get deeper into the campaign now, I'm on Patrol 2 sweeping my way back to Kiel Canal with 1 torpedo left on Sept 5, '39. Hopefully I'll get to use that torp before I hit German waters again, as my log is looking shabby: 1 Passenger/Cargo at less than 2k tons. Had to send 1 more torpedo at her after the first 2, just to be sure because she was goin down sloooooow.

I love GWX so far guys, thanks for suggesting it to me.
