To install or not to install.....

[XabbaRus]

That be the question.

Looking to go back to sub hunting but I don't know wheterh to install DW or SC with SCX.

In some ways ie, the AI I found DW to be a step backward but with Dr Sids subsim gone quiet I'm looking at hitting the Kilo again.

If I do go back what mod should I install?

Why don't you install DWX ? Its SCX with all the goodies of DW.
Really at this stage, there is no reason whatsoever to go back to Sub Command.
Whatever vantage SCX had over DW/DW Lwami just isn't there against DWX.

I think I might just go with DW plus LWAMI.

I've been following the RA thread on and off but it seems like there are still a few bugs to work out.

Kudos to them but have they sorted the interfaces for the new playables yet?

Trying out DWX doesn't cost you anything, except maybe 10-15 minutes of your time and maybe the shock that you will like it.
No mod is perfect, but even as it is DWX is already superior to Lwami and SCX.

Now if you don't want anything to do with DWX because of a moral standing, its fine its your choice. But frankly, SCS has ditched the community, DW for all intents and purposes is dead in the water (SCS hasn't even managed to give us a replay viewer). I mean SCS had known about DWX for quite some time, they even wrote in this forum that modding with all its consequences (and adding new playables) was alright.
So if they don't care, why do you ?
Just enjoy the mod (and try out the lada, virginia, type 212 and harushio ) you'll see how giant a step it is against Lwami.

I tried DWX for quite some time and, while I found the new units and detection curves a lot of fun, the bugs with the AI sort of killed it for me. AI subs don't do a good job of counterfiring though their evasion is not that bad, but surface ships, especially AEGIS ships, are quite broken as far as AAW goes.

Yeah. Same feeling here. My preference is definitely LWAMI, but DWX definitely shows a LOT of potential. The new units and driveables are fun, but it's still got a bit of a ways to go in the AI department. I'm probably going to wait for the next version of DWX before I give it a shot again.
