Hello everone :p

Having been completely involved in Ubi's other great sim (il2 Sturmovik) for the last 5 years. I found myself drawn to SH 2 last year(it didn't run on my PC

)

So when I saw SH 3 at the ridiculous price of £5 I bought and managed to install it(cheapo Xmas gift to myself) :p

Only last night did I find this site, and immediately downloaded a few of the posted mods

I have tried a few single missions + have a few patrols under my cap on campaign

I would hope that fellow users can and would point me in the right direction with any issues I may have in the future

Thanks and Good Hunting

Don't listen to him. You'll also find a mop and bucket. You'll need them as well.

Okay, you can listen again.

Hi, welcome Maddysad,

You will enjoy SH3 believe me - it can take time to learn (especially manual targeting etc.) but it's worth it.

But definitely get GWX (and the update) you will notice a HUGE difference between stock SH3 and this!

Word to the wise. Make sure your in port before you load any MODS. If you don't it can corrupt your files and mess up your careers, etc.

Welcome aboard Swab! Go scrape some barnicles

maddysad · 01-15-07, 04:07 PM

Thanks for the welcome guys :p

First dumb question (I'm going blind I recon)

Welcome to the greatest sub community ever, subsims rocks.

melnibonian · 01-15-07, 04:20 PM

GWX is the best mod out there. It's something more than a game it's an experience

Have a look at the manual and give it a shot. You don't lose anything. It's a free mod and if you don't like it you can always uninstall it and return to the original SH3

Falcon666 · 01-15-07, 04:41 PM

Ah, another flight simmer having a go at SH3. Just like me... I guess its all about being a simmer in general. Enjoy the game, SH3 and GWX have a LOT to offer.

Dowloaded and installed :p

Even to my unnacustomed eyes the game looks better
The Gameplay is much more intense (thought I was the bees knees,sinking 2 BIG ships on first ever single mission "Barnem" )
Tried again (GWX style) and the destroyers (posted missing..on first attempt )
turned me into fish food 3 times before I gave up
Gonna be a steep learning curve

Gonna need lotsa help
