newbie struggle , rewards, patrol 1 (gwx+cmd)

dingopython · 12-16-15, 05:34 AM

thanks a lot for the quick answer !

"in stock GWX" , so there is a sub mod allowing to get reward ? i would very like that, missions is important to me , i dont want to just run around sinking ship , i want a purpose ! and i want to be rewarded for this,
so let's formulate this otherwise : how can i submod the game so i get rewards for patroling ? and rewards for completing others things ? like docking , reporting convoys , etc...

so if i understand , if i manualy set a grid i will always have that grid for every patrol ? i tough it was only the first one ... i have to quit the game and change the grid every patrol ? if yes , when does it fit best ? after patrol but before next patrol i supose ?

Thanks again !

wreford-brown has a renown replacement mod for gwx that returns the reward for patrolling the grid

I'm not sure of the exact link for the standalone version but it is part of his SH3 commander mod pack which is worth using as a whole

I'm not 100% sure but setting a manual grid should only make the next patrol use the same again. After that i think it returns to the flotilla's set of random grids

sooo , now i start a game, 7nd flotilla , shoot down 1 little target ship and i'm attacked by a warship INSIDE the bay ... on august 3rd ....

naturaly , panicked , i order crash dive first , THEN ping the depth ... 12 metres ... too late to blow balasts i'm death...

anyway i very much like this game but it is sooo unstable , with the no upgrade thing at first patrol, the dates that doesnt shows and now when i go to new career , instead of having " ( 1939 ) " and " ( 2nd flotilla ) " put there by commander to remind you what to chose i have " ( 1939 ) ( 1939 )" and "( 2nd flotilla ) (7nd flotilla ) " , it's been 3 days and i'm feeling like i'll never be able to play more than a patrol without bugs or things that should'nt happens , or that should happens but did not ...

how can i play this game STABLE ? do i have to chose another uber-mod ?
or should i reinstall in a proper way my mods
( i did it with front-end and from there on i installed mods )

I have also bought silent hunter 4 too , with uboot missions , tried it , prefered SH3 interface , but if it more stable I may as well go back there no ? is SH3 so much beter ? or it is just personal flavor ?

does silent hunter 4 monsun + enhancements can be compared to SH3 GWX ?
thanks again

Though GWX lets you start in August, the war doesn't actually start until September 1. Any ship you sink in August is neutral.

Not really. Both have their plusses and minuses. SH4 does have some extra goodies added, but I stick with GWX for the harbor stuff, like canal locks with working gates, cool bridges (which, to be fair, are a creation of LSH3), and dozens of ships everywhere. All of that could be put into SH4, but so far nobody has.

thanks , but i wasn't attacked directly after i sunk the ship , i was attacked by a warship docked at the harbor nearly 24hours after i sunk the ship , and i understand that GWX encourage you to sink thoses ships ( by giving you more reknown at start if 7nd flotilla chosen ) so why would they do that if it mean you'll get attacked by every warship on the way back ?
