Default NYGM and GWX

Which is the better Mod, NYGM or GWX?

I know that most of you are using GWX, but I also see that Wolves at War is using NYGM.

I guess my question is, what are the ups and downs of these two mods? I am using NYGM now, but I hear GWX all over the forum.

Ah, this old Jem again.

Reinhard, you would not believe how many times this has been asked.

The only simple answer is to have multiple installs and try both. The rest of the information you require can already be found in the forum.

Edit - WAW now accepts GWX as a useable mod.

Here we go again with the NYGM vs GWX

As dan said both are very good mods and offer a wonderful experience in the game. I chose to play GWX because it's closer to the way I like the game to be, but that's a personal opinion. My suggestion would be to try them both. See which one is better suited for you and stick with it. The only sure thing is that you will have fun playing the game

I getting a little sick of hearing these diplomatic answers...

Objectively seen, GWX is at least as realistic as NYGM (depending on how you define realism), but has far more in terms new features and additions, including new ships, aircraft, skins, new operational theatres and much more.

Theres no contest in my opinion, but I'm on the GWX team and am a little biased. I'd highly recommend trying it out though.

Which is better, Coke or Pepsi? Which is better, Ford or Chevy?

Each mod has its fans, each mod brings a lot to the table as far as increasing realism and playability. You really should try each and find the one that suits exactly what you're looking for. I use GWX and enjoy it a lot. But that's just me, of course.

I have 4 SH3, GWX,Vanilla(restoring yuckymod),NYGM and War Ace 2.0(Which I just started getting into).
Does a boat sink if it sits still or does it rise.Seems to me(what do I know )that a sub would rise slowly very slowly if sitting still,not sink untill hitting bottom or crushed.
This seems to be the biggest difference between GWX and NYGM.By the way i deliver for a dealership.The guys next door at the Ford dealership(TECHS) all drive pre 1974 CHEVYS!

I guess what I am wanting to know is are the escorts and ships act the same for both mods. From what I have been reading here in the forum is GWX has some mean escorts to tangle with, but for those who play NYGM, are the escorts the same way?
