Welcome aboard Captain Birdseye

Welcome aboard!

You'll find this forum to be the most friendly and helpful on the internetz.

I would bet that you won't be playing stock for long. Once you get your feet wet, try to load one of the super mods.(I'm using GWX. Haven't tried NYGM...yet). You'll find a huge difference and improvement over stock. I always felt that I wasted about a month of playing time playing stock once I downloaded GWX. It was night and day when comparing the two.

Once you pick a super mod, you'll soon start adding some of the various and awesome mods available.
Enjoy, and once again, welcome!

Thanks very much!

So far I am downloading GWX 3.0, SH Commander, Lifeboats mod, Torpedo damage mod and the water stream mod.

Will these mods work in the dynamic campaign? I really want to go for realism and go hunting for merchant ships you see.
I'd also like a really great "worn" U-Boat skin that looks like the boat has seen some service.

Can someone direct me to this, and will it all be available in dynamic campaign?

Cheers!

As i said earlier start with stock get use to the game and shortcuts then when you put in gwx3 then you will see how much work has gone into this

the choice is yours

Captain Birdseye, for skins & mods you can't find a better place than bts-mods.com
Everything you're looking for is right at your fingertips - we've got about 30 SH3 modders who host their work on our site. Look through the names, click on their downloads link and browse away!

Venatore has some nice skins in there, as does Koondawg, Yamato9, Wolfehunter, CapZap and a bunch of others - heck I've even got a few myself. Check it out

My sig has the link.

I agree with Wildhawke11 - Straight to GWX 3, you cant go wrong from there.

Welcome aboard Herr Kaleun.

Vielen Dank, Korvettenkapitän!

Thanks again you guys, I will be definatley only using the stock game until I am confident with the workings of the sub (I'm clueless as how to operate them yet!)

SW Cowboy, your repaints are amazing! I especially like the rustbucket versions, I could quite imagine enjoying sailing a less "cared for" sub such as these.

Did U-Boats often go on patrols in such conditions?

Jimbuna · 02-25-09, 02:14 PM

They generally got a make over between patrols, but as the war turned against the Germans and bombings turned into almost daily events the maintenance was prioritised to machinery and weapons/armaments in the main.

Captain Birdseye · 02-25-09, 02:30 PM

Thank you!

I think i'll download one of the "fresher" models for my little ventures as a amateur sea wolf (or should I be dog? puppy?

) then a rustier model as the war progresses.

Thanks again everyone, my mouth is now drooling waiting for this game! it looks so good!

I shall let you know how I get on!

Glad you like them

Ancient Order of the Deep is still my personal favorite, followed closely by Engine of Destruction

Welcome aboard fellow kaluen, i myself am new to this forum, although i've been playing this game long befor there were any mods at all.

I agree that you should start slow, you can get overwhelmed pretty quickly in this game with all the mods, especially if you dont know how to use JSGME mod installer. Take your time, find out what you like and don't like with the stock game, and then add your mods from there.

I currently use SH31.4
GWX3.0 gold
SH3 Commander3.2
SH3gen.
Some of SaltWaterCowboy's skin mods
Tuddley's Radio Broadcats mods
Lifeboatsdebrisv4
CapZapemblemspack
CombatRadioFrequencey
NewAISchnellboot
GWX3deckgunrange
RBflags
RBexhausttypeVIIBGWX
All of VonDosShips mods, these are excellent
Hitman's opticsGWX3
Hitman'sU-505Compass
EliteU-boat uniform black
U-boat commanders uniform
Some of Koons skins
Fubar's U-253skin
Graf's VIIC skin
GWX3 Churruca destroyerv1.2 Great mod
GWX3 St. Nazaire & Schulessev4 Must have mod

Thank all of you listed above for your dedication and hard work for making these possible.

I hope this helps.

If I can make a suggesion, it's to agree with those who recommend starting with the stock game. Add mods later on as you see what it is you'd like to change. There's so much out there - and not everything is compatible, that you'll have to pick your favorites. Also, depending on your computer, you'll probably have to eventually choose between modifications and performance somewhere. Most of all enjoy! You'll find you can customize your game in a lot of great ways thanks to the many talented people on this forum.
