If you think stock is great, you haven't seen anything yet. GWX makes it a whole new sim.

Welcome back!

Welcome back

[fastfed]

All I have to say, is WOW.. I am in utter shock!! I am just playing around with GWX and I cannot believe what I have been missing.. All this time trying over and over to enjoy my 50 dollar SH5 and it was never going to happen..

Graphics mean nothing if the game play is not there.

So glad to be back LOL

That being said. One thing I LOVE about SH3 and GWX is the fact there is upgrades.. I just love it..

What is the best place to start, I just did a test run career and it started me on the VIIB, and that was 1939. Is there a port I can start with the most basic sub and eventually work up to the IX boats?

Thanks all!

I think the choice of boats at any given time depends on what flotilla you're in. I don't know how that pans out in GWX by itself, I've always started careers with SH3 Commander.

Which, if you're going to play SH3, you should get anyway.

When you start a new career from Commander you can choose your start month/year, choose your flotilla (which will determine your home base), and then see which boats are available in that flotilla at that time. Find one that will let you start in a Type II and you're good to go.

I use the "historical availability" option so I assume I'm limited to whichever boats each flotilla actually had on a particular date - but if you don't use that, it's possible that you can pick any flotilla/base and then have your pick of u-boat types to choose from.

Sticky thread on Commander here:

For a lot of folks it's a must have, it will add so many options to managing your crew and career - can't imagine playing without it at this point!

AWESOME!! Thanks!

So Commander in a short sentence does what exactly?

And what is NYGM ? Is it better than GWX?

thanks again!

You've hit the nail square on the head, sadly the majority of gamers only care about eye candy and explosions. As someone else put it eloquently in another thread, "us first generation gamers that started playing video games on that Atari and Nintendo NES don't care about graphics, but the content of the game". I share the same sentiment/experience and would prefer to play FF 1 or 2, aside from being classics they had great stories and puzzles to figure out, not to having to use a bigger gun to blow someone away.

SH3 is going to be like 1st edition AD&D, until they go back to original and fix the problems people are going to keep playing (in larger numbers that despite their age continue to grow) them as they're overall the best editions of the games.

Got GWX and Commander going perfect!

I have a question for you guys.. I am trying that pre determined plot course to go out of Kiel.. Its not working right.. what is the trick behind this?

THANKS
