New to the community and SH3

I would help you here mate,but like you,there are too many mods/add-ons out there that I myself regularly need help from some of the veterans in here.Having said that I have played it for 3yrs now and am quite knowledged on the game itself.For starters I would definitely get the Commander 3.1 pack,as that includes a few great tweaks like,being able to start a patrol at sea instead of sailing out of port all the time.It also offers a VERY intricate career building scheme too.Another one I love is that you can start your next career at any point in the war,instead of going back to say Jan of that year as default.
You'll soon find the guys in here are great,and funny some of em,one or two are hilarious.
If you need a laugh anytime ask someone about the "sh..sh..sh..SHIP SPOTTED! KABOOOM!" tale,I nearly pissed my pants for real after reading that post,it still cracks me up :rotfl:
In the meantime,welcome fellow Englishman!
