SH3 and GWX "I like"

Spray · 02-24-07, 12:52 PM

For the past day I was consulting myself if I should play SH3 vanilla or use GWX now im a big fan of striking a port and getting the heck outta there before warships arive so GWX in the beggining seemed quite difficult for me it got uninstalled. Tried it again uninstalled it, so for the last time I installed it again and played a bit of campaign hunting out in the open. I had a blast my first ever GWX patrol scored me 30K tonnage 3 Merchant ships 1 lone wolf and 2 in a convoy I was like heck yeah this is one awesome mod. And then I went on my second patrol. I ran into a convoy which I battled for 3 hours (real time) Expended all my torpedo's and all but 7 cannon rounds. Ending results 2 patrol boats 2 corvettes 2 DD's 7 different merc ships. 40 tonnes though... bummer. Im using a VIIB and just got relocated to Nazaire (spelling?). I will post some pic's of my adventures when I get around to them because GWX is an awesome mod.

My Silent Hunter experience is SH1 in the early-mid 90's heavily played with very little SH3 experience about 10 hours to be exact this year and last year. I think ive finally got hooked good by the game. I guess its the rush trying to escape from them darned warships. Also for the record in that patrol I used 74% difficulty Auto Aim was on as well as that other assisted torp aim and outside views... Meh I guess I like my eye candy only use outside views when theres a spectacular explosion though

. And the 2 patrol boats were the armed trawlers (if thats counted as a patrol) the corvettes were 2 flower class ships and the 2 DD's were 1 hunt 1 class and 1 V&D (or V&W) Admiral (I think thats it).

Anyhoo its 3 in the morning almost, and ive looked through these forums without an account for quite a while so have a good feeling for the scene.

This also being my first post i'd just like to say hi everybody and lets get out there and sink something.

As a side note anyone else find BB's a little too rare? They sure are for my liking :rotfl:

Welcome, as said earlier I wouldn't worry about BB's there's plenty of them,in ports in convoys, and there also in TF's but you might be hard pressed trying to catch one.
