Welcome to SubSim

I think GWX is the best mod out there. Try it and you will not be dissapointed. If you need to download it you can either click on the link in my signature or on the link that BBW gave you in the previous post.

Good Luck and Good Hunting

I'll add my voice to the GWX supporters. I find it to be a nice balance of realism/difficulty and visual improvements to the base SH3 game.

I doubt you'll be disappointed, but as BBW said, you can have multiple installs and try out each of the major mods to find the one that fits your preference.

I believe the integrated orders mod allows one to play SH3 without ever having to touch the keyboard ie all commands can be given by mouse. What the mod does afaik is to add extra buttons at the appropriate officers' station. For instance (just off the top of my head) opening a torpedo tube is "w" on the keyboard. Using this mod, you click on the weapons officer & click the icon for opening the selected tube.

For underwater visibility, the easiest way to do it I reckon is to use SH3 Commander. There's an option that allows the user to set the opacity of the water in the game.

Happy hunting!

"Q"...the "Q" key opens the selected torpedo tubes
