Yes... that is me.

Well, I decided to pick up SHIII just because... I have never played a naval combat sim before. I feel I have the capacity to learn though, seeing I play many flight sims to full realism

Anyhow.. I was strolling through the store and saw this:




And I thought hmm... well, it looks kinda neat. I'll check it out.
So, I got it installed, patched, fired up. Did the Naval Academy.. and wow.. I'm floored! This game seems pretty dang cool. And to top it off... a campaign! woohoo! I always did like U-571 and Hunt for Red October...

So.. here I am, at the #1 site for Naval Simulation and I am asking you guys for help.


I like to play sims at as real as I can get, but I am constantly having to slap myself from using the f12, free look view. No no! But it just seems very hard determining the position of boats etc underwater! Any tips, tactics, etc?

And.. along with realism, I gotta ask something. The water. I have never seen such clear, crisp, water! Which.. isn't very real
So, I went searching around for mods, and bam.. here I am. With a HUGE selection of mods. So.. this where I also need your help...

For someone who desires realism, etc... what mods are a MUST HAVE and what mods do you recommend? I guess I could try them all out one by one, but.. I figure you guys know ALOT more about it than I do!

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to becoming an active member of this community!



P.S. Yes I really do get sea sick quite easily. I dunno why on earth I bought a Naval simulation
