One more time...

[HotiBomba]

First of all I must say that I am really glad to see that this forum is still running very nice and smooth. Wasn't here for the some time, but this is probably my favorite place to pick up gaming tips, advices, downloads...

Well, summer season is slowly coming to its end; that means more time for the fun . Well, decided to take another adventure in rough seas, and looking for a fresh start. One more time... . Earlier, this year I also had a little time to play SH3, but got discouraged after I messes with some mods and files, making the game unplayable with continuous crashes .

Well, I am asking for a help with fresh start. Installed clean SH3, patched it with 1.4, and installed Grey Wolves SuperMod v3.0 (made a donation which this site so much deserves ). Well now, except default mods which comes with it and already exist in JSGME folder, anything else worth of trying?

For example: any mod with the improved map (like minecharts, convoy rutes...)? And also looking for mod (which I heard it exists) with more and new ships to encounter? Like capitals ship in ports or task forces moving around the world... As I remember earlier, in basic SH3 there were very rare to encounter.

Last one, i promise . Is the game following historical events? Ok, I know that it is following by the map, which u can simply check and see the red towns/ports moving to blue by the historical dates. But will it, for exp, follow Norway invasion, Dunkirk, and simillar events? So u can find like dozens of ships in Channel during the Dunkirk? Or u can find Warspite lurking around Norwegian fjords at the correct date?

Thank u all for reading! Looking forward for some help with this.

Cheers and good hunting!

Sounds like you have read through the GWX3 manual yet.

Believe it or not, after years of SH series (started with 2) I kinda forgot some stuff. I'am kinda conservative guy, and hardly adopt to new stuff :P So, I mostly play the game on the basics I learned in the first weeks of playing...

But, reading through the manual one more time won't hurt Thx m8!

GWX 3 will give you plenty of variety in types of ships.

Yes, many historical events are scripted to happen and you will often get radio messages informing you of them, like going to help the Bismark, for example.

There are several mods I use in addition to GWX.

Lifeboats and debris, torpedo damage final, Hitman Optics, Hi Res mod, and others.
