A Few Questions.

Collin Dougherty · 02-20-11, 05:03 PM

Hello,
I have been looking into getting this game for a long time now.
But i havent been able to get it until recent.
I play mostly Arcade Games (Battlestations midway and such and such)
Because Most simulators are to powerfull for my computor

I am farmiliar with some simulators like ArmA 2, (I guess you can call that a SIM) and Il-2 Sturmovik.
But I have a few questions about the game itself and some mods

1. Does The Steam Version of the game have starforce as of 2/20/11?
I hear starforce is very bad for your computor.

2. What (Out of 10) is your opinion of the game (I have merely watched videos , and as a big navy buff who knows everything about commanding a ship, i would give it a 7,800,456)

3. The GWX mod, I read about it a billion times.
Does that contain the extended interior of The U-Boat?
(was watching A lets play by Frontier and he had a diesal room & A captians Quarters & barracks, the only thing he said they didnt have was torpedo rooms but idk if its GWX or not)]

4. what other mods would you reccomend and what do they do?

Thanks Kreigsmarine

Tell us your computer specs, and maybe we can advise you on workarounds.

I'm pretty sure not. Also, any version you buy today on disc doesn't have it either.

I never had any problems, but a great many folks did. Supposedly it sometimes thinks a game is pirated and "fixes" it by murdering your DVD/CD reader. Not to worry, though - as I said above, with the newest versions you're completely safe.

Out of 10? I'd give it a 9, but only because there are a few minor problems that have never been fixed, and likely never will be. That said, with the available mods the game is brilliant.

No. That comes only with FlakMonkey's New Interiors mod (which is compatible with GWX), and soon with Hans Wittemann's new Type II supermod.

That's FM's New Interiors. It's wonderful, but it takes a lot of power and memory to run it.

Very, very many, and they do very many things. Too many to list all in one sitting.

Regarding your video card, which you are unsure of, I hope there is at least 256 mb for it to be cut thoroughly, but then you can not have such high demands on the mods that have major effects which the card may be more difficult to handle.

Collin Dougherty · 02-20-11, 06:06 PM

Look below i posted the kind of card

Steam version works fine, aside from some minor glitches with SH Commander (will write up a post about it soon, I think I have it figured). The biggest drawback if your a serious modder is the limit of one install. If you are interested in running multiple versions of mod setups (ie One stable, and one expiremental) I'd recommend buying the disc version, from the subsim amazon link above (on the main page). But the steam version is fully compatible with all the mods that I have found.

It seems that it can deal with this smooth, which is good, you get to choose the mods or super mods for SH3 as examples GWX,link here,

Collin Dougherty · 02-20-11, 06:27 PM

The only mods i am planning on getting is the interior mod and GWX for now.
You were all a big help guys thank you so much.
Also, the only reason i am getting it from steam is because my mother trusts it lol and because no shipping period (i have been waiting for this game since early january)
one more question?
CAN I SINK AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER

Collin Dougherty · 02-20-11, 06:31 PM

Begin with GWX3 the link that I gave you above,and SH3 Commander is almost a "must" and cfg files for SH3 Commander which you can take down above you, under downloads on the left side.

Collin Dougherty · 02-20-11, 07:01 PM

I dont plan on getting the game until tommorow at least
