Two newbie Q's

[KL-alfman]

GWX should be installed on a fresh and patched SH3 (v1.4b)

welcome to the pack!

Another newb but this is what I've noticed so:

Haven't detected anything more than a boost to my vanity on being promoted whereas the boat upgrades are pretty much mandatory. I suppose it may have a tiny impact on crew morale and therefore fatigue levels but not so much that I've been aware of it.

The war will be over for your current stock crew if you install GWX as others have said. If you do switch though yes the original single missions are still there, along with many more GWX missions (more than double the ones that shipped with the stock game I think). Haven't expored these much as I'm in the campaign at the moment, which is also far improved from the stock game.

The radio traffic alone adds hugely to the immersion factor. You hear about ships reporting that they're going down after hitting a mine and later other ships reporting on picking up survivors, and other Kalauns radioing in saying their own boats have been damaged by premature torpedo explosions, or that they've taken a Finnish steamer as a prize and are escorting her to Kiel, etc etc. You hear too about the general progress of the war, which was the thing I liked least about the stock game: I felt like I was on my own out there.
