Who uses supermods, and who plays the stock games?

Speaking of GW, what's some ways to figure out if you got a critical hit on the ship? Sinking takes FOREVER now.

Sinkings takes a while as the GW mod uses the NYGM damage model that means ships sink by flooding rather than just blow up
Aim for different areas of ship
Ships can still explode if hit in the right areas
The damage model is all new in GWX

Sometimes i get ships that say theyre sunk, but are still there after days and hours, do these ships sink eventually or what?

Two installs, one with GW1.1a (must.. have... GWX...) and one with NYGM 2.01 (must.. have.. 2.2...)

CWorth · 09-18-06, 07:09 PM

GW 1.1a for me.

Skubber · 09-18-06, 07:41 PM

GW1.1a

But I have "tweaked" it. Added in a few minor details. Subtracted a few things.

I think I used some sounds from Improved U-boat that I liked better, etc.

Stock SH3 for me - for now. I'm waiting on GWX and NYGM TW 2.2, at which time I'm going to treat myself to two installations.

I wanted to start with the stock game so I'd have a better appreciation for the efforts made in the supermods. I'm waiting because... well... the anticipation is actually fun as well. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Cruising the Mediterranean based out of La Spezia, with GW with the Das Boot sounds sprinkled in here and there (I had no idea that GW's torpedo impact sound was taken directly from Das Boot until I watched it again this past weekend...hee hee!) and loving it

(#3. Is that the quickest off topic reply ever? And for his own thread too

.)

I will play whatever my damn system decides is appropriate and will not crash the lot or judder to a standstill at any given moment. I'm really not competent enough to decide what is best for me (thats obviously my PCs job).

War Ace Campaign, but I'm thinking about changing to GW once I finish my campaign

Only had a computer capable of running SH3 properly for a couple of months so I'm running normal SH3 with a few mods but no supermods yet!

We run stock 1.4b. We do mostly online multiplayer games, and find that this is the best way to keep things simple, ensure a level playing field, fast load-up times and maximum compatibility with newcomers to the game. (We've tried UBA and GW, but both caused a lot of problems for us -- they were designed for single-player campaigns, I'm sure.) So, it's back to "stock" for now.
