Questions about type IX etc

10-29-10, 08:15 PM

Thanks for replies and greetings!

As of now, I'm some 250-300 renown points away from "buying" a type IX (it available at Lorient all right), so I have to wait at least one patrol before changing. I'll probably need more points to buy the best upgrades; how is it, can the type IX have two deck guns or is it just extra flack?

Is Operation Drumbeat simulated in the vanilla version of the game though?

I'm probably kidding myself playing the game without mods ain't I?
Maybe I should start out with SH3Commander and then move on to some of the "super-modes" you mentioned?
I have one concern though, adding mods with much more content and details, isn't that bound to slow the game down? My computer is not..eh..up to date

Nevertheless, the GWX manual sounds interesting all by itself!

Again, thanks for helpful replies

the game is nowhere near its worth without GWX3 or a supermod!

The only one I have used so far is GWX. But lately, I MUST use it, because I notice things about the original install that are wrong and knowing that just makes me not want to play it. Like, when you dive/surface, the boat leans the wrong direction! Uggh !! Plus, the graphics are waaay better with GWX.

I am going to try some of the other mods soon.

One larger 105mm deck gun, up to two light 20mm flak mounts, and a choice between one heavier 20mm Flakvierlig or a 37mm airburst flak. Go for the twin-barrel 37mm as soon as you can get your hands on one. They are quite effective.

edit: That almost reads like a dinner menu.

I am running SH3 with GWX on my 4yr old inspiron laptop and it runs fine, only the odd slow down when ships are exploding (i'm using GWX enhanced damage effects though which is probabily the culprit)

I'm using intel core2 1.73GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI mobility Radeon X1400 (256MB I think?).

So you don't need a super computer to run GWX and the graphical improvements are amazing!

GWX was designed to run on the same specs as the vanilla game but because of the vast amount of additional content it does take longer to load the game.

Well, I got my hands on a Type IXB after relocating to Lorient, almost sad to leave good old VIIB U-46 for brand new U-103...
Seems I have to wait for the heavier flack though.
Decided to take it for a spin before adding any mods, but man, is this boat bigger/longer! The bridge looks so different..
Anyhow, next step is probably GWX. Wish me luck!
