Must-Have Mods

Ship Happens · 01-20-19, 02:15 PM

I recently rediscovered my old SH3 disk while cleaning up my disastrously cluttered office and thought I'd relive the old days again. It's been years since I fired up the old u-boat and went skulking about the north Atlantic...

What mods do folks recommend these days. I remember using GWX and I'll likely look at that again, unless there's something better. What about textures or improved models to make things look at little better on modern hardware (my current computer is considerably more powerful than the one I used to play SH3 on so I'm not too concerned about hitting processing or graphics caps). And, of course, bugfixes and any useful modding utilites (are JSGME and SH3 Commander still around?) would be helpful too.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and if you can provide download links, I'll throw in bonus gratitude...

Hi and welcome SH

Anvar is right, WAC5 is the must have for SH3.
But you should wait for official 5.2 release, because 5.1 is really not stable (at least on my rig)

It brings old SH3 to a new level i didn’t even think of

Wonderful U-Boats, great visual effects, tons of nice ships, enjoyable campaign, very rich environment...

Meanwhile GWX is not that bad at all, very stable and fluently, even heavily modded. But apparently you already know it.

NYGM is an other interesting alternative, with improved U-Boats and realistic behavior. But opposite of WAC for harbor environment.

You’ll find Jsgme here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...=4725&act=down
Here for Commander: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4789

Good hunting

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. I tossed in MultiSH3 so I can try out a few different supermods. I'm downloading WAC as I post this and GWX just finished installing. Any other suggestions people have for mods, big or small, are welcome. Thanks again.

It's the small ones that count.

Submarine tracking room v8 by LGN1
and
WB's Mid patrol orders.

Combination of these mods actually makes the game recognize my boat's meagre existence...
