SH3 Help!

That was an awesome read! That sounds intense, and my scarriest moment was a pesky bomb run on me by 2 planes haha!

I really really am amazed at how real this game is... and how real the AI behaves. You literally have to factor in anything and everything in this game as if this was the real deal. Incredible.

Welcome aboard and have fun with SH3GWX. I would suggest you play SH3 vanilla for several weeks or so to get a feel for the game. Then you will be amazed at the mods and really see what they do.
Do the naval academy in the vanilla game as it is impossible to do in GWX.
You have to have SH3Commander. The game is really incomplete without it. Read the CMDR manual twice before you do anything with it. JScones gets a bit testy if you post a question that is covered in it.
Also, read the JSGME manual; JScones really gets testy if you don't.

Finally read the GWX 3.0 manual. It's only a few pages long

but it is the best game manual ever written.

Thanks Irish, sure will do! That's pretty cool that SH3Commander adds a lot to the campaign. Even though im not too sure what all it adds, but like YukonJack stated... kinda some RPG like elements? That would make this game amazing!

Just about everything that needed to be said, has been said in the posts above. Despite it's age, SH3 is still one of the best strategy-type games around, partially because the concept was good to begin with and latterly thanks to the team of modders who have built upon the original game so that it is now almost a new game in itself. Yes, DO play the straight SH3 to start with - you'll love it - but then you'll install something like GWX and maybe a few ship mods and skins... just wait 'til you load the game up after that! "Blown away" won't begin to describe it. The improved graphics, improved tactics, extra ship types, etc etc are a tribute to the skills of the modding team. Like van Holly, I've been playing SH3 for a good 4 years, it pulls you back time after time (and keeps you up 'til dawn more times than I'd care to admit!) You're in for a treat! Finally, you're right about the SubSim forum. One of the best around no matter if you need help, advice, humour or just a chat. WELCOME ABOARD!!
