the longest part will be downloading them but then the gameplay after will be so much better.

Oh, and welcome aboard

I was just trying to keep him from getting overwhelmed with the usual "You MUST get THIS first! and then here's a list of 132 extras you need."
Yours is a good start, but might be a bit confusing.

Welcome aboard, Chris. And might I add that the title of this thread is so very true.

I'll try to answer some of the questions as best as I can.

I use active pings to get range to any contacts that I might be tracking while I'm underwater. Very useful when I pick up a vessel and want to determine if they're moving away from or toward me. An all-around good tool to have.

I usually keep radar going any time I'm on the surface, although later in the war it becomes more risky for the boat. After that it's a crap shoot.

Unsure of the sweet spot mod... there may be versions for both GWX and stock SH3. The one I use is for GWX. [EDIT] Come to think of it, this is a drop-in replacement of the recognition manual diagrams. Should work either way.

I don't remember if the SOS/SSS messages are in stock, but they are in GWX.

Unable to answer your question about the Metox. Someone here will certainly know for sure, though.

@USNSRCaseySmith - I'm unsure of the milkcow charts. They might be part of Carnavaro's Document Collection.

Hope this helps.

Thanks jim, this should stop those crafty merchants, who take 20-30hits with the DG, dead in their tracks.

Don't listen to this. You *NEED* to use exactly what I tell you to use, or you will forever be a noob that is hounded mercilessly until we drive you away from ever wanting to play a submarine simulation as long as you live. You won't even like regular soap anymore because it sinks, and will be so disgusted with anything that submerges you'll only buy Ivory soap. You will also avoid people named Perry, and foods like eel and asparagus.

If you happen to drive by "Carl's Donuts", your head will explode like a ship loaded with ammonium nitrate.

That's how bad it will get.

Not really. I am just joking of course. Play the game the way you want to play it, and have fun.
