Why SH3+GWX3 is the best U-boat sim ever made? To know us (mods and moders) better...

Of course GWX didn't save the world....it was the universe

The universe saved the world? I don't get it.

No, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.

Very interesting thread

I have been playing SH3/GWX for many times, until SH5 release date. Never played SH4 with ATO mods - there is no atmosphere at all. Tried SH5 and decided to back to GWX. SH5 is better than SH3/GWX only in one aspect - graphic. It would be fantastic to merge SH5 graphic with GWX

.
Playing GWX I have some "must have" mods. I've tried many GUI's for SH3, but decided to use hsGUI v3.1 for GWX, because it's a good compromise of many new functions and simplicity of servicing. Rest of mods give SH3/GWX better look - RBs_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71, Lifeboats&Debris_v4, Waterstream+Exhaust Combi v2.3 for GWX3 and Torpedo Damage Final ver2.0. I've tested three environmental combi packs for GWX: OLCE (unfortunately the last version merged with GUI), M.E.P. v3 and SH5 Water for GWX 3.0 v0.9. Now I play using SH5 Water.

If you never played it, how do you know? I like SH4 for its graphics (though SH5, as you say, is even better), and its crew management, and the way it handles radio messages, and the whole 'battle stations' thing. I think it has plenty of atmosphere; all it lacks is the cool stuff to look at. As I've said before, if SH4 could have all the modding SH3 has recieved I'd play it and nothing else.

As I pointed out earlier, other supermods have equally good AI and campaign items, and different things to offer. WAC has the realistic bridges over the Kiel Canal and LSH3 has the Kiel construction works, just for starters.

As to your wish for a merging with SH5, many modders from different teams are trying to do just that - add the coolest features to SH5. It almost certainly will happen, it will just take time.

I've played SH4 ATO, but only single missions, not all campaign - started it but didn't end. SH3/GWX has much better atmosphere than SH4 and SH5 both, it's my opinion and not only mine.

Agree, but still, I really enjoy playing every now and then SH4 OM.

This was an excellent idea! I've installed 4 new mods i've never even heard of (despite the fact they've been around for months and I havn't noticed them throughout my daily forum sweeps).

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but at the very beginning of this thread, I clicked on the link for FM new interiors and the OLC Das Boot green and they seem to be broken, it takes me to the file front pages then I click download and it takes me to a page saying 404 not found. Is there another place to get these?? I Cannot locate them in the download section!
