Hello. I'm still playing GWX 3.0 and need something fresh.
Please tell me why NYGM is better than GWX ? All the advantages...
Is it possible to run NYGM in widescreen mode 16:9 ?
Maybe it's time to change and try something new ?

AFAIK, GWX was geared for visual presentation, whereas Your Grandmother 'talks to you straight down the line'. Don't they always :-)

It's difficult now to differentiate amongst the MODs as they've mostly incorporated each others ideas. NYGM has always been geared for 'realism' over 'visual arts'. I never ventured out of the NYGM compound so cannot give a true perspective, but I've always been happy with NYGM... it's a challenge.

Yes.. find the MacGui Widescreen mod. I think GWX might have copied from his idea.

NYGM is the best mod with you will play for SHIII, is true that graphically is not much, but it is certainly the most realistic of all, the experience of playing a campaign with it's magnificent.

If you decide to start a campaign with this mod you must change your thinking. Your order will be above survive anything, destroyers and corvettes are ruthless ... If you are located ... run and do not stop running

goog luck, you will need

Just my two cents worth, but I find GWX a little “brighter” in atmosphere, a little more fun. NYGM seems more serious. In GWX, I go out to bag some tonnage, to test my skills. In NYGM, I go out to survive! In GWX, I can enjoy the graphics, the sound, the built-in gee-whiz toys. In NYGM, I’m there to fight. In GWX, if I’m canny and lucky, I just might survive the war. In NYGM, I know the odds are stacked way, way against me and there will be no nach dem krieg.

Both games are good and pretty realistic. But IMO, GWX leans just that little bit toward shoot-em-up, toward personal score and an enjoyable experience. NYGM leans more toward grim reality.

But I’m a reality freak. I prefer NYGM. To me, it just feels the way I think it should. I still play GWX from time to time. But NYGM is my favorite. YMMV.

Exactly. When I played GWX I spent more time uninstalling and reinstalling updates to mods to make it look better, I never finished a career. Now, I don't finish a career because I'm dead.
As I said in my previous post, the fun for me is when I'm being hunted and trying to sneak away.
