what does the living silent hunter 3 mod do

[JCLpirate]

I have tried graywolfs and thought it was too hard. so i want to play soemthing with more graphical realism. and better atmosphere is this the mod for that. while also keeping it easy

mods are mostly fake news. They add very little to the base game.
You want the water to look shinier, get a mod. You want to be able to see 16 km even though you shouldn't engage anything with a torpedo that is further than 2 klicks out, get a mod. You want to listen to 1990s german house music on the gramophone and have all your crew be bare-chested sailors....get a mod...

In the end, does it all add much to the excitement that is SH3? No.
This game is wonderful in its updated, vanilla state. The claims that somehow vanilla SH3
is a "broken game that requires modifications" is just not true. Fake news.

If you really want to know if LSH3 2022 is something you want check out Youtube; Gefreiter Choi. He has excellent, recent videos of his career escapades as a U-boot captain using that very supermod.

Thanks man, so does gwx really make the game harder. I just want a relaxed satisfing experince really

[Hanuman]

It makes the game more realistic I suppose. Not sure if I would say "harder". It adds realism and makes corrections historically. I never really had a problem with the graphics quality of vanilla SH3, the improvements the mods make graphically are not a big deal to me. Its mostly just better textures.

If you want good graphics, don't even bother with SH3, or its mods...get a newer submarine game. This is especially the case if you just want to have a fun, relaxing time blowing up ships. This game is 17 years old.

SH3 is unusual in that it has this somewhat fanatical, but relatively small fan base behind it.
I guess this is due to its relative accuracy compared to other ww2 sims. Personally, I am not planning on applying for submarine duty with the Navy, so whatever SH3 Vanilla offers is already excellent and fun enough. I don't need more added drama or realism.

I am on my 3nd year of my career in vanilla and have had a blast. I took my time and went IIa to IId (its worth the 500 renown and I then even upgraded the batteries in '39) to VIIa.
I have had no problems with "bad saves" or crashing. Or ships not spawning, Or time compensation messing up things etc etc etc...just haven't seen any of it. I know someone on here with 2000 hours logged on Steam with vanilla and he has no problems.

Also, getting these mods to work is often not so straight forward. With vanilla SH3, you right click the sh3.exe, set compatibility to Windows XP and check mark "run as admin" and you are off to the races.

I'm of a similar opinion. The vanilla game offers plenty and is pretty hassle free. I just set new goals and the game seems to evolve as I become better.

I started out happy to find and sink ships and then it became can I complete an honest career without mulligans for getting sunk and then it became can I complete an honest career and sink more tonnage then before. That goal has started at 1.2 million tons and is currently at 2.7 million tons and if I survive my current career is likely to be more again.

The great thing about the game is that there is no final boss level. You get to decide for yourself if and when you've mastered it.

I was once curious about mods but from the comments I've read they seem to be more hassle then fun and also seem to make the game easier rather than harder. Someone told me that GWX lets you control the weather. I say that if you haven't attacked a convoy in high seas and heavy fog or made the decision not to do so and wait for another opportunity then you haven't really played.

The supermods are nice, but here is why I stopped using them:

I'd realize I'd have a few days free to play.

Log into subsim and start searching.

Spend a day or two installing mods and fixing incompatibilities between them and the minor mods.

It was time to return to work when I'd get everything straightened out.

A year later, I'd repeat this same process.

Finally decided to forget about that mess and play vanilla.

It was vanilla SHIII that I played years ago. It was great then, and it's still all that is needed.

It's about being either a pro or remaining a beginner and after all still a matter of taste anyway, isn't it?

If you are insinuating that playing without mods makes you a beginner, you are wrong once again Fiedler. Of all the people I have interacted with in the SH3 community, jamesburrelltx is by far the most knowledgeable when it comes to 1) The mechanics of SH3 2) WW2 U-boot general history...and I am pretty sure he only plays vanilla and has about 2k hours clocked.

If backhanded insults are your only forte, I suggest you go elsewhere.

What is it about knowing what you will find, when you will find it and where under pre - configured weather conditions that makes players of a modified(configurable) game "professional"?

Doesn't that remove all of the most difficult scenarios such as them finding you first or needing to chase them rather then having them fall in your lap or needing to hit something that you can detect but can't see because of fog. Much less making it to the end of the war when you can hardly surface without getting swarmed.

Take off the training wheels before you tell us that your Evel Knievel.

GWX has always been pretty stable for me across multiple difference pcs over the years.

[JCLpirate]

is gwx still being updated, for me the main consern is the loading time.
I know that gwx4 has been canceld. Does that mean the same for gwx3gold?

No. The mods make the game more realistic and gwx adds professionalism / realism and difficulty. I don´t know where you got that weather nonsense from.

no offense but thats mostly nonsense, too.
living silent hunter adds loads of features, possibilities, content, graphics and other stuff.
it isn´t much more difficult than vanilla though.


there is zero reason to play vanilla, except for being a stubborn purist or just not being interested in improvement of the base game.
but it is dishonest to claim that vanilla is better than the big modpacks which include decades of hard work and research.

Silent Hunter 5 is basically unplayable without wolves of steel.
