Do ports in SH3 have ships?

Thanks guys. If I go into a port and torpedo ships, will I be attacked? Are the ports in GWX defended?

Remember SHI where you would get orders to photograph a certain harbor and you had to get close enough to do the job, but the harbor was patrolled by destroyers looking for any US sub? That was sweet.

Thanks Jim, what do I download? What are these filefonts? I see about 7 links on your page. And do I have to delete and reinstall Commander?

thanks

Heck yeah they're defended. Those stupid little patrol craft in the harbors have a preternatural ability to find you, too. Make no mistake, trying a harbor raid in GWX is no cakewalk.

As for your other question, GWX needs to be installed over a clean install of SH3, patched to 1.4b. Yes, you have to download all 7 of the .bin files as well as the GWX installer .exe, but once you have it all downloaded, just run the .exe and it will take care of the whole installation. Once you have GWX installed, you can then reinstall SH3 Commander.

Depending on your connection, it can take a while to download, but as Alton Brown likes to say on the show Good Eats: "Your patience will be rewarded!"

Thanks Mookie, so I need to delete Commander, or delete everything and start again and add commander on top?

Delete everything. Uninstall SH3 Commander, uninstall SH3, delete the SH3 folder out of your C:/My Documents folder. Reinstall SH3, apply the 1.4b patch. Then install GWX 3.0, then install SH3 Commander.

You'll be good to go.

Speaking of ships in ports.... how do you guys treat enemy ships in neautral ports. I sank one and my mens morale went down to about half. Why? Am I not supposed to do that? It was an enemy ship, just sitting there, I could not let it just sit there and get away. How far away does it have to befrom port inorder for it to be "OK" for me to sink it?

If Germany is in a state of war with whatever country the ship belongs to then it doesn't matter where it is located.

If however, the port/harbour is neutral, it may be perceived by that country that you are firing upon it, especially if it has ships from its own country based within.
