Hell no!

The first thing i did after i made it run and added the patches was to get myself RUB!

I can't believe how bland the original was!

I would definately not be playing SH3 now if there were no mods.

The stock game was simply to bug ridden,half finished and way to arcadey to keep my interest for long.

Thanks to mods like RUB,then GW1.1a and now the great GWX SH3 will stay on my hard drive for quite some time.

I could not get myself to play between January and December 2006. Wether I was sinking C2's or C3's, alone or from a convoy, using torpedoes or the deck gun, playing j'attendrai or the tipperary song, well, playing Silent Hunter was just beginning to feel all the same to me. I was rather suprised that when I had installed GWX I was playing a week straight - good job GWX team!

I still play stock standard SHIII. Tried a couple of mods almost two years ago but didn't like the feel the mods bought to the game so removed the mods and haven't tried any others since.

I don't want to sound like I'm making fun of you but you must be one of the few who chose stock SH3 to the mods. Anyhow the important thing is to have fun with the game I guess, so go forth and enjoy it I would suggest though you try GWX. You don't really miss anything, it's free and if you don't like it just uninstall it and go back to the original SH3

With no qualifications, my answere is "No".

The Mods are a HUGE reason that I've come back to SH3--and the "SuperMods" are the reason that I've stayed. But beyond that, the community that's created those mods--and created the discussion about those mods, are why I really like playing this game. Do you realize the group of people that are assembled in this forum and their knowledge about WWII U-Boat warfare? I'm really not sure if you could find a more knowledgable community. And beyond that, a more good-hearted, accepting community.

Hell, of course, the mods and this forum are the only things that have kept my interest in the game. F', I'm in the middle of another GR patrol in an IXD2, but because of Ducimus, I was excited about trying one. Then I tryed another...then I just couldn't stop.

Mods + Forums = Fun

I voted no. It is as simple as that for me.
