Hi there THEBERBSTER
The Steel Sharks Campaign I would not call it a mega mod as such Graphically
all that has changed is the Uboat pens Alfred Keitzer as done a wonderfull job moving the Uboat Pens of Lorient further up the coast
the Campaign files are as follows

GWX3 all the random convoys removed from the Rnd Layer and some single shipping added all convoys now added to the Scr Layer

September 1939 - June 1943

LND 977kbs

RND 6050kbs

SCR 17,615kbs

Work progressing on June 1943 - May 1945 Campaign file

The Steel Sharks Campaign may not be 100% Accurate due to constraints of SH3/GWX3 as some nations dont have large ships in there merchant fleets rosters also in the later war years a convoy of 70 plus merchants with 20-26 escorts would be suicide mission for any Uboat/player attacking it so its a trade off so i scale the convoy and escorts down a tad
Convoy HX-248 87 Merchants 19 Escorts would be scaled down to 72 Merchants and 14 Escorts 6 rowns of 12 Merchants with 10 Escorts around the perimeter of the Convoy and 4 escorts inside the Convoy
Convoy Merchant ship spacing would be 1200-1300 meters front escorts 3500 4500 meters from convoy side escorts 1500 2500 meters away
rear escorts 1500 3000 meters away
as the war progresses newer escorts come online in our Campaign
Q&R Class Escorts S&T Class Captain Class
Hunter Killer Groups some with escort carriers also air patrols
in early war years Avro Ansons Hudsons whitleys later in the war liberators
PBY Catalinas PB4Y-1 liberators wellingtons sunderlands Halifax's
The radio messages in the campaign help you find convoys with convoys sightings in game radio reports from U-408 Helmut Dobinski to 2nd Flt FC Shadowing Large inbound convoy in Grid AM1956 heading 108° at 7knts U-408 Helmut Dobinski Sends gives the player aheads ups on convoys that may be near to him and also gives the Campaign more depth
