Ahoy Sailors!

I've recently revived my Uboot-career so I've been lurking around to see what ~7 years has done in terms of mods to the game. I did not like SH4 or SH5 so I have my feet firmly planted in the SH3 universe.

WAC 5.01 looks beautiful and I've done half a patrol with it installed but it crashes whenever I try to reload the save. That's OK and I'm too old to bother with tweaking around, so I'll just ask a similar question to the OP instead, but I'm not actually looking for an extensive super mod.

Are there any "true to vanilla" visual upgrades and "must have bug fixes" that I should be aware of?

As I've said, I've been lurking around looking for mods but there are so many that I'm thoroughly confused.

EDIT: I actually bought SH5 on steam and decided to try the Wolves of Steel community expansion. Maybe I'll hate it, maybe not. I never really gave SH5 a chance with the draconian DRM and awful release week they had.

EDIT2: j-zuz I'd forgotten the whole UPlay shenanigans of Ubisoft...

Thanks for the feedback guys, so far I've tried LSH3 & WAC 5.1.

I enjoyed LSH3 however I had various issues with adding additional mods such as "Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 Final" this caused some problems with transferring flotilla's plus a few other issues, I also found the reactions of enemy escorts to be a little lazy at times whilst attacking convoys.

WAC 5.1 is definitely the "Eye Candy King" of the Supermods but again I found a couple of issues with this mod such as the WO yelling every 2 minutes and compatability with additional mods, but again this is down to personal preference, I know the guys who developed both these mods are extremely talented individuals who bring this game to life.

I am yet to try NYGM, for the meantime I have returned to GWX adding various other mods to my soup.

I thought the crew sound in WAC5.1 was a bit intrusive but I could probably tinker back the original sounds. I did enjoy the visuals a lot though.

Is there a simple guide how to just steal the visuals from this mod and leave gameplay untouched?

EDIT: SH5 looked nice but it wasn't SH3. I should've trusted my gut feeling. It was SH3 I urged for and only SH3 can scratch that itch.
