SH3-GWX3.0 is a long way from dead.

There is also alot of members here that don't have the money for upgrades at this time or in the near future to play SH5.

Yea when SHIV came out people said SHIII is dead. It looks just as popular if not more so than SHIV!

Absolutely true ...

I have SH3 and SH4, only tried once SH4 and never played it again.

In SH3 you're the "underdog" and that's much more interesting ... things get worse during WWII for a U-Boat Kaleun!

I never made in until 1943.

The GWX Single missions are so varied it's where I go to practice Surface attacks and evasion manuvers.

Also different attack approaches. Hydrophone/Sonar attacks.

Without messing up my career.

Good to see you are still around Serg. I would like to be able to do this myself so any advice is much appeciated to get me started.
There must be a way of fixing these smoothing problems, as I look at the other new ships and they don't have the issue.
So if someone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

Hi Bob long time no see. I was thinking the same thing about SHV coming out. But I thought it would be nice to fix this up anyway for those that will continue using the Grey Wolves. Also from the little I have seen there is no sign of the minesweeper in SHV. I saw a the destroyers doing the escorting again in the released image. So there could be room to add it to SHV.
I plan to ask John CFS3's best painter to come on board to help repaint it once I know what I'm doing with the install.

Good to see you have not stopped sharing your great talents to not only the games you are in but even others.
You have always been generous.
I saw Fouteman is releasing a set of your Flower Corvettes in CFS3.

John reset the bar in painting every time he upped the ante others scrambled to keep up. He made all the painters better and was always gracious.
I was perplexed why ETO did not use all your ships, made no sense. Did not ask. I added the M1 (because that one you made for the original BoB in 04) to the recent mission set, the only thing required not in ETO (I did add an option that changed the crappy stock merchants to your beauties from MAW)

I know we are OT but for those who are not familiar with this painter's work here is a bf109E4 he did
getting taken down by a Hurricane over Kent in CFS3

1. The problem might disappear when the 3D model is imported from 3DS MAX to SH3 using S3D tool and conversion from GMax is avoided. The link to the S3D thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=119571

2. As I said in the your other thread, I have been able to improve the minesweeper look in SH4 by detaching some elements in polygons of the 3D model.

As to SH5, we have to see what changes and additions to file formats are introduced. Those can make current tools for SH3/SH4 unusable for SH5.

Couldn't agree more. I did one career in SH4 and was back in the Kriegsmarine ASAP.

I just finished a total war career in GWX3.0, the first and only time I have done that (100% DiD) and am giving SH4 one last try but I can't see me lasting, just too boring.

However, SH5 is a different beast and upgrade to a new level and looks (looks have been deceiving before) like it will be so much better we will just not be able to resist.

To everything there is a season and while I enjoyed modding in CFS3 I have never enjoyed anything to date as much as GWX3 in any venue for play

Hard to believe SH5 will not have a M-Class but glad to hear Greg will be there to remedy that .
