Ahoy herr kaleun!

Herr-Berbunch · 06-22-10, 04:10 AM

Welcome aboard Herr Kaluen.

Any questions, and there will be some I'm sure, and the guys and gal on here will bend over backwards to dig out the relevant information. Happy hunting!

Welcome Roger,

You will get settled in in no time at all,and when your game arrives you can kiss goodbye to your previous life!

And before long you will be asking "what are the latest mods,what are the latest expansions,or add-ons?" ,and we will say "take your pick mate,there is thousands to pick from!" , but first be sure to get GWX3 (Grey Wolves Expansion) as soon as you have had a test drive with the default game,it is the way forward my friend.

Have fun!

Welcome

Take some time to look around and find out about the various mods and tools people are using. As a fairly new player myself, I'm still adding mods to my collection and have thought that a good mod-list would have been a very useful thing when I was first starting out.

I'll post what I am using when I get a chance

Welcome!.

I'm in the same u-boat as you , I started just over a week ago.

I cant believe I missed this one , considering how old it is now.

It's a great sim , really immersive, although be warned - time will fly when your'e out at sea stalking those merchants.

I am using GWX 3.0 , SH commander 3.2 , lifeboats mod , and water/smoke mod with 16km atmosphere enabled . I thknk that's a good base to start off from.

(I would use the merchant fleet mod , but it crashes on me

)

Heres one tip for you - When leaving port for the first time , zoom RIGHT IN on the port before plotting a course, as when you are zoomed out it will not show the port layout.

On my first mission I went ahead and plotted my course and promptly smashed my sub into the harbour wall ....

Anyway , good hunting!

nemchenk · 06-22-10, 05:42 AM

Me, I always drive out of port under "manual"

It's the "right" thing to do, and it lets you take in the atmosphere, the sea air, the marching band... Ah, to be young and in charge of a Uboat!

Unleashhell · 06-22-10, 06:22 AM

Hi All,

Thanks for the welcome i feel at home already,

To Jangles, yes i feel the same as you, i can't believe i have not seen these Sub sims considering as i said i have played Ship Sim 08 but by the look of it this sim should keep the old grey cells working for some time to come,

Cheers,

Roger.

Give Torpedo Damage Final a go also to your mod base,it improves the damage effects caused by your torpedoes,adding to immersion.It removes the default black 'mark' and replaces it with a huge gaping hole in the hull complete with smoldering metal around the edges

It is a very popular mod and one that would be recommended as an addition to the 'base' mods'
Below is an image of the mod in action,which I am sure you will agree looks amazing compared to the default effects! -

Welcome.. I have had SH3 since day 1 and and enjoy it more these days than I did on release..

As many others have said GWX 3.0 is an awesome mod could never play vanilla game again.

GWX makes them destroyers as stuborn as a pissed of Japanese girl (i know expieriance...in both

)

I am trying to evade one now (destroyer before you ask)that wont leave me alone (laptop for forums/msn) even though it cant hit the broardside of a bus at point blank range.. NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING

Goodluck on your patrols

Hey Roger,

I'm new too, about a week of SH3 so far! I was never interested in u-boats or naval warfare until watching Das Boot, and then promptly got SH3. GWX is great

; there are other supermods too, I'll get to them in time but I figured that starting off with the most popular one would be best.

The only other 'essential' mods I have found to be are GUI mods (mostly if you're using manual targeting) - I like ACM-GUI Reloaded - h.sie's edition - and the 'no continuous 'ship spotted'' mod which I find to be very helpful.

Already I've started reading all I can find on my bookshelves about U-boats, and I've ordered three books

Happy hunting
