SH3 GWX 3.0 Competition

[PaulH513]

First I would like to salute Sharkleys efforts to see who is the best U-boat captain in his "tonnage wars" because I know he has indeed put a lot of time and thought into this concept. There are some concerns that other players have talked about and therefore I would like to propose our idea of doing a similiar competition that would be fair for all and I would appreciate your input into the matter.

We at ComSubsPac would host a MP contest that would run under the following format.

1. SH3 GWX 3.0 with CSP online game mod enabled. This mod in our download section reduces the load time of the game from over 3 minutes to about 45 seconds and can be found after registering on WWW.ComSubsPac.com. This would be the only mod enabled as the fewer mods enabled the less likely of a CTD.
2. We use Teamspeak and and an easy connect will be found on our home page. If you do not have have TS d/l here WWW.TEAMSPEAK.COM. Download Teamspeak2 (client) and its free.
3. 8 subs in a map and each sub seperated by at least 20 KM with an identical task force/convoy coming at them. Basically 8 exactly the same single missions rolled into one MP map. The fact that you are not near another sub would eliminate friendly fire and also not have a another captain get credit for a ship that you hit and otherwise would have gone down.
4. Game would be played at normal realism and with limited torps.
5. The host of the game would be excluded from the competition for obvious reasons and would oversee the game to ensure that no one is using cheats and to declare the winner of that map.
6. Time limit would be one and half hours.
7. There will be 6 maps presented over a few weeks time period starting with 1940 thru 1945. 3 maps I have already made.
8. The winner of each individual map who has the most reknown would receive a "token" and the captain at the end of the 6 maps who has the most tokens would be declared the best.
9. Each captain would have the same sub that the map maker has picked.
10. If you die you would be out of the competition for that map but not excluded from playing in the next map. You must survive to have your reknown counted.
11. In the event of a tie those captains would play in a tie breaker map.
12. There will be prizes for the top 3 captains. We are currently discussing what they will be and will be posted here soon.

If you are interested in playing, post your name and country here, as well as any questions you may have. We are currently looking at April 25th to start the first map.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting
