Hey all,

Wanted to give a shout out to the GWX team and Racer boy's SH4 to SH3 converstion.

I basically play GWX3.0 w/SH4toSH3.
I don't really know if all the sounds are just GWX or part of Racer boys as well?
I also don't know about water clarity etc.

What I do know is this is a NEW GAME now.

I went hunting in the channel and it's not very deep there.
So you can't exactly run silent run deep.
I have never been able to out fox the destroyers.
I was a mater of damage control and getting a lucky torp shot or death before GWX
Now I can tell roughtly where the destroyer is pinging me from via sound.
I can hear the destroyer when it gets really close and discovered an actual use for the observation periscope as it can look almost directly up.
Via Flank or emergency back and geting hard starbord/port down I played cat and mouse with 3 destroyers attached to a large convoy in the channel.
I took zero damage able to make literally watch the destroyers coming and getting away from them.
I have never seen such awesome AI, the original SH3 destroyer AI was moronic compared.
After I figured out their typical run pattern I started positioning myself to take torp shots.
I eventually blew all three out of the water with side shots not straight on or straight away hits.
Unaware of the 4th destroyer I poped up in the middle of the convoy and started decking the ships.
Then I hear gunfire and dive ready for another destroyer hide and seek. It refused to approach nearer than 2000yrds, guess it figured I'd blow it away too?
Also the orginal SH3 I never recall T1's ever causing anything but a destroyer to notice and avoid the torp especially when it was first round.
Now most times if I shoot a loaded T1, short of very dark outside they go flank and your likely to miss.
Now adding a few knots but not to many to the solution so I don't miss... wow again.

Thanks for all the hard work on these projects.

PS: A thanks to bts-mod who unlike file lets me realize I really am on a 10Mbps pipe.

Time to go sink some ships
