Choice of boat question..

There is no right or wrong answer. All are great boats, each with their own approach to sinking ships. Try each one out and see which one you like best.

I sailed a Type IX yesterday, I sailed a Type IX today and guess what I'm sailing tommorrow?

It may be a disease, but I don't want curing!

It all depends on where you like to go.

-North to mid atlantic, mediterrainean, area's just west of gibralter, and around the british isles? Then a type VIIC is your best choice, a type IX your poorest.

- Everywhere/anywhere else? A Type IX is your best choice, a type VII your poorest.

Thanks for the advice, sounds like the right answer is try 'em all! So I guess I'll go with the VllC for now and start building up renown for the type IX.. But then again.. :hmm: Maybe I'll start a second career and go for the type IX in that one..

As for expansions, GWX seems to be the popular option.. Does installing GWX mean I have to restart my career? And where can I find it? Is GWX the same as the commercialy available expansion I've seen in stores? -Badbrains

Afraid so. GWX installation requires a completely clean install of SH3 with the 1.4b patch. It can be downloaded here: http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/GWX/

And GWX does virtually everything the commerical expansion does, plus it includes much more content. Save your money.
