Silent Hunter 3

The GWX Manual is great, very helpful.

Also, SH3 Commander is a great Mod too. Allows you to adjust important game settings, like Fatigue. Which I have turned off BTW.

For me it's SH4 ... hunting the Pac theater from Dec 7th, 1941 to the end ..
early days finding a convoy with no escorts and just plain runnin outta deck gun ammo
..ya .. fish in a barrel
..then comes the Japanese air patrols, the lethal DD's and escorts ..and hunting the shallows of the Java Sea
where it's *dangerous* to be in a sub ..when you can't submerge
Timing is *everything* ..even night engagements in the Java Sea are lethal if you make a wrong move.

Then there's the Sea of Japan .. shades of Run Silent, Run Deep!
Can almost hear Clark Gable 'We're going for a Bow Shot!'
Ya baby!

Well I finally got out of the Med. Transferred flotillas, now running a Type IXB out of Lorient with the 2nd.

It is now May 1941,  going to participate in Rhienubung and sink the HMS Hood before the Bismark does

Then I'm gonna go look for the Ark Royal.

alright, you guys didnt steer me wrong on three, so what do you recommend for 4? from what i can tell theres the 3-4 major mod out there that seem popular. curious what you guys like from them

Sorry, haven't played 4 yet; I'm still on 3. Probably will though when I'm done with my current campaign. When I looked at the subsim forums some time ago it seemed like the fleet boat mod was the way to go, but I'm sure there are many others.

Same here... SH3 only. But from what i have read the trigger maru mod is good.

see, ive looked at both and it seems like theyre both pretty good but one lacks something the other have so i cant really decide what to try, thought maybe someone might give me a push haha. but thanks any way

I know this thread is older now, but is there anywhere I can DL the GW mod.  The download links from greywolves website go to a filefront page that doesnt have anything to download?

[ImADot]

When I grabbed it, I used the individual file links on their download page (under the "Download GWX3 Gold" buttons). The links are to Jimbuna's Mediafire links and that's how I got GWX.

[Gaidin]

Will try that. 

[GScholz]

Any luck?

Yeah, sorry been really busy and havent been back to forums.  I am running across an issue with getting ammo to the deck gun.  I have GW3 and SHCommander mods loaded.  That is all.

Anybody else have this problem?  I can use the weapons officer and see the ammo, but I cant get it available for use?

[GScholz]

There are several types of ammo. You probably don't have AP and AA, only HE. Switch to HE by clicking on the image of the HE shell when manning the deck gun. Afterwards the crew will use the correct ammo.

GWX removes AP shells; your deck gun only has HE. The game has it hard-coded to automatically load the gun with AP, but since there is none you get nothing. Once you click on the shell icon while in the gun, it will be ready for you each time you return to the gun.

That helps, TY!
