Why would anybody want to?

But there are lots of good add-ons for GWX as well: The Kiel Canal Locks mod, DD's newest Open Hatch mod...

And don't forget to optimize your career with SH3 Commander. It does for your career what GWX does for the game itself. You'll never look back.

SINK EM ALL!!

I may have to get that Kiel Canal mod.

It's a good one.

But better are in the works.

Turning due East after leaving the Wilhelmshaven docks, I plotted a course for the Straight of Dover and decided to do a test run of the Batteries and Oxygen. I wanted to establish how long the Batteries would hold out while submerged at Ahead Standard.
I submerged to P-depth and pinged the DuK (Depth under Keel). 18 meters. I dived to 20 meters and the DuK became 10 meters. I figured it wouldn't get much shallower than that because the course I set pretty much followed parallel with the shoreline. Big mistake.
Time compression at 8x, moving along, turned due North at next waypoint to leave the Bay, an hour later, then BAM....systems were getting knocked around left and right. I immediately surfaced and did damage control. To my horror, the DuK (while surfaced!) read 12 meters?!
Probably the only complaint that I have so far is the depth of the ocean in this game. It's just not realistically deep enough. The continental shelf at 5km out from shore should be at least 80 to 100meters, not 12-20...
Anyway it wasn't a total loss. Everything repaired, leaks repaired, and going steady at 14kts.

Were you still in the North Sea? There are places that are deeper, but you should never go below periscope depth, just in case.

Out in the Atlantic it's plenty deep, but in the Nordsee, be careful.

I realize with the dodgy release of SH 5 you guys here are probably being inundated with mod's for SH3 questions so thought I would tack my question on the end of this thread

After installing the latest GWX supermod are there anymore 'must have' mods?

Ahoy Kaleuns,

Does anyone of you can post a screenshot of their JSGME so that I have an idea of what a hardcore modding setup be like? I am looking for that type of information in the threads. No success until now
