DL'd and installed GWX3....

Tynan · 03-17-10, 10:38 PM

Greetings all. I took everyone's advice and got GWX3, and oh man, it's like what SH3 should have been but the devs didn't have time for lol...
Ok first off the Realism setting is at 80%. I'm not going directly to 100% until I get the hang of things, having been on 2 Patrols already and not fired a single torpedo (no opportunity). The only settings that are not checked are: -Dud torpedoes (I just don't want to think about that...)
-No Weapon Officer assisted targetting (I want him to do his job)
-Manual torpedo targeting (it seems atrociously complicated)

Starting first "official" Patrol for GWX now.

Good luck on your campain, GWX is a whole differant monster. I was personaly hopin' that UBI would have just "barowed" GWX and updated the graphics for SH5 but, alas, it was not to be.

Those setings are good for just starting with GWX, I personaly jumped in befor I had SH3 all figured out so I had to start lower. Dud torpidos aren't as scary as it sounds, if you keep your torpidos inside a 20degre arc when it impacts the target you don't get a lot of duds. And later in the war they are almost a non-issue.

Manual targeting also isn't as scary as it is made out to be by some. I found some good tutorials, both writen and as vidio, and wrote down all the steps I needed to do in my own words to better understand the process, and that worked a trick for me; well that and the use of some other mods that add some neto tools for target data gathering.

Why would anybody want to?

But there are lots of good add-ons for GWX as well: The Kiel Canal Locks mod, DD's newest Open Hatch mod...

And don't forget to optimize your career with SH3 Commander. It does for your career what GWX does for the game itself. You'll never look back.

Enjoy the GWXperience

SINK EM ALL!!

I may have to get that Kiel Canal mod.
