Grey Wolves Expansion. It's not just a mod, it's an experience!

Seriously, I don't know how anyone could say GWX is just an eye candy mod. You guys improved almost every aspect of SH3 with GWX, including a lot of gameplay features. All for the better in my humble opinion. Send all the rivet counters to Davy Jones' Locker, I say!

(playing a GWX campaign with LRT v1.3 installed)

First patrol update :

We made it back to St. Nazaire after sustaining heavy crew casualties from a Catalina aircraft surface attack. Took a few weeks shore leave in St. Nazaire while our boot was being repaired. Attended the funerals of 9 crewmen that were lost during the aircraft attack. They won't soon be forgotten.

Second patrol:

We set out for our patrol grid located between Ireland and Iceland. While traveling to our patrol area, we came across a large inbound convoy. We dove to periscope depth and started our hunt. Before we could get into attack position, we were detected by one of the enemy destroyer escorts. Soon, an enemy Catalina patrol aircraft showed up, circling overhead. Then 2 other enemy escorts joined the attack. We dove silent and deep, but it was no use. We endured a brutal barrage of depth charge attacks over several hours. As our boot took more and more damage, it became clear that we could not shake our hunters. The damage to our boot became too much. Both diesels destroyed, heavy damage to all batteries... the list went on and on. When it became clear that we could not stop the heavy flooding, I (as captain) decided our only hope of survival was to blow ballast, surface, and abandon ship. Upon surfacing, we were attacked by heavy gunfire from the enemy escorts. Only a few of us could jump overboard before a destroyer rammed and sunk our boot. We were picked out of the dark, freezing water by one of the enemy destroyers, and now we are on our waty back to England for interrogation. As captain, I am responsible for the deaths of most of our crew. And I will have to live with that for the rest of my life.

Some screenshots showing the heavy depth charge damage we took before blowing ballast:

Great job GWX team! SH3 is better than ever before.

HELLO Nvdrifter !

:-)

I remember Your very promising "U-boat Repair Times" mod.
This link in Your sig - this is new version* ? I see compatible with GWX - good :-)
BTW - repair times in GWX are modified, or just like in stock, vanilla game ?

Best Regards

Koci

* Just asking, I remeber first version of Your mod - too much hardcore IMHO :-)

Looks to me like a few have not changed their tactics with GWX. Using GW I would lollygag on the surface and flip my nose at the planes. I would flip the bird at warships and drop my pants to show the moon to the armed merchants. NOT ANY MORE!!! First ride out I was going up and down like a whore house on dollar day. I had to change everything I used to do just to survive. I think it is darn realistic now

Run silent... run deep... or all the eye candy will spank ya!

GWX is most certainly surviveable... but you've got to think like a U-boat captain now.

I strongly suggest getting a copy of The U-boat Commander's Handbook... 1943 Edition. Mine was about $6.00 U.S. on ebay. Words to live by.

True, it is survivable if you think and react like the u-boat would. As of now I have automatic dive when an aircraft is spotted. I never had that before. So it is auto crash dive for me upon aircraft spotted. My vampire sight is now gone and I submerge more for hydrophone usage. That has worked out well! Shoot, old GW I did not submerge much. All in all, the GWX mod is well thought out and extremely enjoyable. I can't wait to find out more of the things put in
