I'm having withdrawals, recommend me a mod - Page 2

Well there are many out there, NYGM, War Ace, GWX, Real U-Boat, along with numerous addon mods for the "mega-mods". They are all good and hats off to the people that made em. I personally have play almost all. I do have crashes and CTD. But it's usually due to a mod that I add that is incompatible with the mega mod and I tweak the game till it runs. It depends on your tastes and interest. I do like a challenging game where if I screw up I get sunk. I have done the stock game and that was like too easy to rake up the tonnage. Real U-boat is good - you have to get too close sometimes. War Ace didn't run smoothly so I put it on the back burner for a bit. NYGM is good and so are the DDs and DDEs. Currently I instal GWX Gold and am in the Atlantic looking for shipping. I did do some sailing in the Med Campaign before my old comp died so I never got to finish that one. Setting the realism is important and finding a input interface to you prefer is of important, OLC and MaGui are good.
Hope this helps, thank you for the read.

As a relative newcomer to Subsim I learned the hard way, as BigWalleye mentioned, about bad saves and such. I believe most of it was my fault as I was playing GWX and was like a kid in the candy store when it came to adding mods. After way to many ctd's I re-installed and now play with just a good sound mod, sh5 water, magui f and a few smaller mods to round out my playing experience. I'm on patrol #3 and have had no problems so far. I do believe that there might be just to much going on in regards to GWX and all the mods out there, but that's just my opinion without any real proof that's the case. Still loving this game though!

Ok, so from what I can gather, the CTD issue is a common occurence with SH3 vanilla and all other mega mods and thus cannot be avoided? That is so lame. I hate the idea of not being able to save in the middle of combat or not within view of other ships, that's so stupid.

Anyway, can someone please elaborate some more on how NYGM compares to GWX? In terms of realism? Realism is what I care about most. Thanks.

It's a problem that's affected all the SH games in various ways. For example you save while stalking a convoy in SH4 and when you load up they suddenly now exactly where you are and all the escorts charge after you. The game is old so bugs are expected.
