SH3 and GWX for noobs

Freiwillige · 09-29-09, 09:14 PM

Yea I would skip vanilla and go straight for the GWX experiance! Try out vanilla just once just so you can see the amazing works of the GWX team.

No No No!!!!!!!
You should play stock SHIII through one time. This will let you fully appreciate how awesome GWX is. It is night and day, but if you don't see the darkness, you will not see the light.

Exactly... please run stock SH3 first for at least a few hours so you will have a baseline to compare with. Otherwise you'll never know what things looked like and felt like before all the work we poured into GWX.

Yeah good advice. I did one patrol in stock then started playing around with mods.
I would say one patrol would be enough for you as it seems you already have subsim experience.
And enjoy - it's awesome

at least do the naval academy missions in stock, theyll give you the basics.

Play stock SH3 one time only for comparing with GWX - you will see difference. GWX is completely different game for many reasons: graphic, sound, playability. Try them yourself.

Whichever option you choose...enjoy the GWXperience

+1

One patrol in stock, just so you can see the difference.
Also, don't try manual targeting straight away.

has to be said:

I started by playing stock for about a month, wasnt that bad

Vanilla is nice, especially the limited amount of freighters in the beginning! Imaging having to distinguish so many of them from the start on. But with SHIV experience, GWX should be playable from the start!

Nice mods for later, when manual targeting is something you want:

U-jagd or
Niclas Periscope TDC 1.2, which includes U-jagd

or, of course:

OLC and TMT, but my computer is not fast enough for it

enjoy - or better - stop playing now before you have begun, because your real life will SUFFER!

That's what I'm doing at the moment. It's late 1940 by now, VIIB and about 230,000 GRT. Once I've finished my current carreer and get the hang of manual targeting, I'll reward myself with GWX3

And I keep a mental list of all the things I hope to see corrected in GWX

Should be quite a list then

It is, already by now. It's just that until now, the only subsim game I've played for a longer period (and still play occasionally) was Silent Service II, so I really haven't much of a standard to compare it to, other than SH3 stock (maybe a little AOD, but I guess that's outdated in every respect by now). I guess I'll just play one SH3 stock campaign so I can really appreciate what you guys did
