New and looking for a mentor
Hi,
I'm new to SH3 and was hoping I could get hooked up with an experienced individual or group that could teach me how to play with the end goal of playing full realism. I currently have the GWX 3.0 Gold mod installed.

First read the manual (GWX3) it will be a great help. As far as a mentor every forum member is a mentor and more then willing to help. Post any questions on the forum and someone will answer. There are some great SHIII & SHIV mods you can download. I would recommend that you play stock GWX prior to trying mods. JSGM (already in GWX) and Commander are must haves. A lot of modders have their own download sites as well as the Subsim and BTS download sites. Remember there are no stupid questions. We all had to learn someway and most of us learned via Subsim.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

Any specific questions to start with?
I'm going to presume that some "full realism" options are easier to handle than others. Things like Limited fuel, Realistic reload time, and Torpedo Duds are pretty simple to implement. Just watch the fuel gague, and if the first torp doesnt work.....well shoot another.  'External Views' are somewhat controversial as some never use them, and some (like me) just like to get cool screenshots with 'em Probably the hard part is the realistic targeting, and there are going to be 100 different opinions on whats the best way to go about that one.

I always believed in being thrown into the deep end that's why I've played full realism (except for external views..but that's for admiring the boat) since day 1. It is very frustrating...but after a while everything just clicks.
