Essential Mods?

Mash · 02-27-09, 04:28 PM

I just placed an order for SH3 and like to know what other essential mods besides GWX3.0 do I need? I am looking at:

Commander 2.7
Hitman's Optics – not sure if this is part of GWX3

Any other mods that are must have around the campaign, skins, etc…??
Thanks.

SH3 Commander is the only true essential besides the supermod of your choice. After that it's a matter of taste. I have over 20 other mods in my game after GWX3, and to me they're all 'essential'. But pretty much everybody would disagree with one of my choices or another, so all we can really do is give you our favorites and let you decide for yourself.

Me?

FLB Sales' Simfeeling 6-Dials Mod
Das Boot Sound Mod (you'll get a lot of different opinions on the 'best' sound mod)
Lifeboats, with Rowers
Waterstreams, with Exhaust Smoke
Kiel Canal Locks Mod
Hitman's new compass
Das Boot Clothes Mod
Assisted Plotting Mod
AIL Small Moon Mod
Pascal's Port People
Sean's Type IIB skin, converted for Type IIA
Early War Eagle on the conning tower
16Km mod
SH3 Weather
SH3 Gen
My own Loading Screen Randomizer
Many many new gramophone tracks

And a bunch more I can't remember, and I can't look at my list because I'm not at home right now. How many of them are truly essential? Probably none - but I like them all.

Oh, and get Commander 3.2 - it's vastly improved

Torpedo damage final,makes your hits look well better,
radiolog expanded updated,makes you feel part of the war
Diving ducks open hatch all boats
thomsens ships 3.1,makes them behave like 5000 ton monsters,not corks in the bath
waterstream and exhaust combi mod,just looks so cool,makes your sub look like a real alive fighting machine
MANOS enviroment Pro,makes everything,sea,sky,water a joy to behold

loads of people will have different ideas,you sort out which you like and with the beauty that is JSGME you can try to your hearts content,its so cool having such a brilliant forum with such giving,generous modders that make this game so wonderful
