cant speak for anyone else Gulf, but ive been with sh3 for 4 years.

That's incredible! I mean, I know i've come across games that gave me the feeling that "Ah man, I can't see myself playing anything but this for the rest of my days..." but this game really does seem so rewarding and also for a dated game... quite beautiful. And I hear GWX actually makes the game's graphics slightly enhanced and I haven't even touched that yet.

I bet the game's difficulty really ramps up in later years. Right now im still chugging away through December in 1939. Not too much activity, but I get the occasional plane patrols trying to end my fun and a destroyer here and there.

dont know if youve read my post on this forum

this should give you an idea of how i still feel after all this time

ha!
enjoy sinking those lone merchants or convoys now mate....cose later on its all escorts,destroyers, aircraft, mines,sabotage,radar...........

p.s do not try and engage aircraft when you install gwx.....dive and evade....but give it a wee go in stock...you might get lucky

That was an awesome read! That sounds intense, and my scarriest moment was a pesky bomb run on me by 2 planes haha!

I really really am amazed at how real this game is... and how real the AI behaves. You literally have to factor in anything and everything in this game as if this was the real deal. Incredible.

Welcome aboard and have fun with SH3GWX. I would suggest you play SH3 vanilla for several weeks or so to get a feel for the game. Then you will be amazed at the mods and really see what they do.
Do the naval academy in the vanilla game as it is impossible to do in GWX.
You have to have SH3Commander. The game is really incomplete without it. Read the CMDR manual twice before you do anything with it. JScones gets a bit testy if you post a question that is covered in it.
Also, read the JSGME manual; JScones really gets testy if you don't.

Finally read the GWX 3.0 manual. It's only a few pages long

but it is the best game manual ever written.

Thanks Irish, sure will do! That's pretty cool that SH3Commander adds a lot to the campaign. Even though im not too sure what all it adds, but like YukonJack stated... kinda some RPG like elements? That would make this game amazing!
