Default New player, suggestions welcome

Any suggestions for new player? I installed the GWX3 mod.

Thinking RTFM is next step or.. jump in?

R'ingTFM is always good! Though, I would highly recommend SH3 Commander aswell (don't forget the GWX config file for it). Then you're good to go... sink 'em all!... (is that copyrighted?)

I'd start a career, and transit at 1xTC whilst skimming through the manual for the bits on operating your boot. The best of both worlds - just keep one eye on the screen for vessels and/or land - particularly if you're in transit through the Kattegat out of Kiel.

And definately get Commander like Tinman recommends.

Welcome aboard and a happy hunting

Thanks for the advice and the welcome

Trying to hunt down this commander mod. Kind of want to start with the recommended mods so I have no regrets down the road.
