Is SHIII + GWX What Stock SHIII Should Have Been in the First Place?

No. Not even close. The very first time someone said this I started to grind my teeth.

There are a number of things that no mod can address, let alone fix.

1) The sound applications are bad. The whispering mode should only be on when silent running is engaged. As it is it tells you any time you've been detected, even when the crew couldn't know that.

2) The interiors of the subs are wrong. The observation periscope is in the wrong place. There should be a very large housing running through the control room for the attack periscope. There is no helmsman at the front of the control room.

3) The crew management is of course totally bogus. There are no watch shifts. The radio and sound stations should not both have to be manned to make one of them work. The watch officer has to be manually placed on the bridge every time you surface. When engine room crew are too tired to work they should be rotated out automatically by their watch officers.

There are dozens of other things that I don't seem to be able to think of right now, and they will never be fixed without source-code access. GWX is probably a great mod, but it is not "SHIII as it should have been".
