Ah, but you're biased.

The real answer is that one would have to play a full campaign, start to finish, in both (and in any others one wanted to compare) before one could even begin to make a comparison. I will say this for GWX: They went out of their way to make sure that, for all the things added to it, it still runs on the same systems as the stock game. I really want to try LSH3, if for nothing else than the pictures I keep seeing of the real Kiel Canal bridges, but every time I try I get a CTD while still in the harbor. LSH3 and WAC are both way to resource-heavy for my computer.

GOOD MOD

Just wanted to come to shore for a few moments to thank everyone involved with the GWX mod. Absolutely awesome! My jaw dropped when I saw what the dev team was able to accomplished. Great work!

I can't imagine how time consuming it was, so I wanted to thank everyone who contributed. Thank you!

It was MASSIVELY time consuming.

But We all enjoyed it and are glad you all enjoy it.

Thank you all!

Hi friends,

is there please a mod, which adjusts historically closely german awards in GWX mod?

Always get the fist (in 1939, 1940, 1941...) award U-Boot-Frontspange in Bronze (U-Boat Combat Clasp), but this award Admiral Dönitz introduced on 15. 5. 1944.

As far as I know there is no way to make the game withhold awards based on their historical unavailibility on certain dates. The criteria for whether or not you get them is based on renown, tonnage sunk, experience, etc., and/or some combination of factors, but in-game date is not one of them.

The only way I know to avoid getting awards that would not be historically accurate because of the date, is to temporarily edit the section of the basic.cfg that controls that part of the game, and raise the amount of renown/tonnage/etc. required to a level so high that it would be unreachable... then you could change it back after you reach the date in-game where it would have been possible to get the award in real life. At least it seems like it would work in theory.

I have Commander set up to do this for me using one of its functions but I have not played enough since setting it up to know if it actually works the way I hope it will.

Try ignoring the fact they are available and don't award them, then when you reach the historically correct date, award them via SH3 Commander.

Hello jimbuna and frau kaleun,

I do not mean the U-Boat Combat Clasp for my U-Boat crew. I mean the U-Boat Combat Clasp for me. Always get it first. What about to replace the U-Boat Combat Clasp by Kriegsmarine Schützenschnur?

Just got back into SH III after a few years away. I saw this GWX3 mod so I decided to install it.
Last night I was playing and had a really strange incident. We were involved in a surface engagement with a British carrier group and some German destroyers.

I gave the deck gun crew orders to engage the nearest warship and they pounded the closest German destroyer!

Is this a bug in GFX3 or is it in the stock version also?

Aviar

Aviar, this is possible. The Deck gunners are stupid, they target the closest unit, wether it's friendly or hostile. so you have to be carefull. You have to pay attention on which target your crew is aiming.

hi! i am new to subsim and silent hunter 3. pretty excited to get into it. would playing this mod be too hard for a beginner like me? Should I just play vanilla first?

also, does this mod seems to be a graphic mod AND a gameplay mod. so does it have things like FM_Newinteriors and environment enhancements? Thanks!

[Jimbuna]

I'd do a few patrols in stck/vanilla first to get accustomed with the controls.
