Hi guys. Unfortunately i never played silent hunter 3 before. Just sh2,sh4 and sh5. And now i better understand i missed the best part of silent hunter series so far. I feel really stupid. After silent hunter 5 crysis i just want to try silent hunter 3 with GWX mod and i had some questions about that.

1-Is GWX allow us to walk in sub?

2-There's any good graphic/sound mods that you guys can advice me?

3-SH3 have dynamic campaing or just GWX coming with dynamic campaing? And how dynamic campaing work there?

4-Multiplayer is still interest from peoples? or there's any organisation about that in subsim(still)?

5-Should i download any official SH3 patches before install GWX Gold?

Welcome to the pack.

1-Is GWX allow us to walk in sub?

No, but it does include an "open hatch mod" that you can enable through the included JSMGE mod manager, so that you can see between the control room and the radio/sonar/captain bed room.

In stock SHIII, if you press CTRL-F2 you can move around the sub using the arrow keys.

2-There's any good graphic/sound mods that you guys can advice me?

I do not care for the new torpedo impact sound in GWX3. So I installed the "realistic depth charge sound" mod. It is for the torpedo sound, not depth charge. Don't know why he named it that (he said he was tired).

If you enable the "Enhance damage effect" in GWX you get some cool fireballs and explosions.

3-SH3 have dynamic campaing or just GWX coming with dynamic campaing? And how dynamic campaing work there?

Stock SH3, and still with GWX, gives you a dynamic campaign that starts at whatever year you choose, from 1939 on, and ends in May 1945. You go on missions, sink ships, earn medals, promotions, and skills for yourself and your crew, and try to survive as long as you can. You earn renown for your efforts which you can use for sub and weapon upgrades.

4-Multiplayer is still interest from peoples? or there's any organisation about that in subsim(still)?

I've never done it. The problem I foresee with multi-player sub games is that it is like playing online chess - you need to coordinate with multiple players for HOURS of gameplay. It's not the sort of online game where you can jump in and out at any time you like.

5-Should i download any official SH3 patches before install GWX Gold?

You MUST patch to 1.4b before installing GWX 3.0 Gold. The game will not run otherwise.

1-Is GWX allow us to walk in sub?
Yes and no.. you can press Shift + F2 (i think) and you can walk about the control room and sound room. Thats about it.

2-There's any good graphic/sound mods that you guys can advice me?
for sound I personally use thompsens sound pack

3-SH3 have dynamic campaing or just GWX coming with dynamic campaing? And how dynamic campaing work there?
You get your orders for a patrol area and you start in port and sail out and plot a course to the patrol area and sail there and back

4-Multiplayer is still interest from peoples? or there's any organisation about that in subsim(still)?
I only play the campaign mode

5-Should i download any official SH3 patches before install GWX Gold?
Yes

Hi, Alper

First off install the 1.4 patch for sh3. Then I recommend getting GWX 3.0 and SH3 Commander (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...145939&page=32). You can move around the control room and radio/hydrophone area in GWX but I suggest getting this mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...162631&page=27) which adds the Diesel Room, Officers Quarters, and aft crew quarters.

If you really want to get the most immersion out of sh3 I suggest playing at 100% realism or at-least 90%, if you still want your external view to take screen-shots.There are many great tutorials on this forum to help with manual targeting and contact interception, so if you have any troubles do some quick research and you will find your answers. Believe me manual targeting is so much more rewarding than letting the AI do everything. Also check out this thread for using the Enigma machine to send coded messages to Bdu and other players (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=250).
Hope this helps Alper , Welcome and Good Hunting!

Hi guys. Unfortunately i never played silent hunter 3 before.

You came to the right place for advice.

2-There's any good graphic/sound mods that you guys can advice me?

The radio mods are wonderful. They add music and broadcasts from the period. I highly recommend jimbuna's Depth Charge sound mod as well.

5-Should i download any official SH3 patches before install GWX Gold?

Upgrade to Patch 1.4b and you're good to go.

Welcome aboard....

As for multiplayer, I have tried it... through ubi.com, i ran into troubles, not detecting game, not connecting properly... tried Hamachi... personally, I don't like this program... but Tunngle is a similar program as Hamachi but really oriented for games (and much easier to use than Hamachi in that respect)... just make sure that all players joining the game have the same mods as you do if you host a game. One of the MP game i played was a bit disappointing, we had to protect 2 tanker ships, but the british DDs spawned very close to them and took one down in a matter of minutes... about 6 clicks away... was difficult to sink them before they took out the tanker with E-torps submerged...
