That is not part of GWX is it? I am playing SH4 right now, so far I have spent 3 real life days playing with only 1 merchant sunk. Fired three torpedoes and all missed so I surfaced and used the deck gun on him. Then I used my quad 50s on the nips in the life boats. In game time I am about 4 weeks in with only one kill, so kills are much harder to come by then in SH3. RE: Have you ever?? - RedDevil - 09-06-2007 I am hinting at the wife to let me get SH3 (I saw it on amazon for under 10$ :) ) SH 4 might take some swaying LOL RE: Have you ever?? - Fubar - 09-06-2007 Weasel Wrote:I noticed your station icons are different then just crew members, looks cool. That is not part of GWX is it? Those icons are one of the options that come with GWX, i didn't realize it until i read the GWX manual.  Look in your SH3 directory for a prog called JSGME, is a mod install prog similar to McMMM.......ahhh mods ;).......in there are lots of little tweaks that you can make to GWX. Those icons are called Captain Americas Officer Icons. ![[Image: 001-13.jpg]](http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b357/MadMaffMan/001-13.jpg) I bought SH4 today, your right my PC struggles a little on medium settings but has no probs with low.......will getting more memory help do you think? I have 1GB but have another free slot so i can fit more. P.S. I just switched to German language in GWX, haven't got a clue what their saying but it sounds great. ;) 
RE: Have you ever?? - Weasel - 09-07-2007 Yes, more memory will help for sure. You can also free up memory by getting rid of a lot of those desktop icons, all of which are loaded into memory when you fire up the computer. I would also shut down zip so it doesn't start each time you turn on the cpu too. How beefy is your video card? RE: Have you ever?? - Fubar - 09-07-2007 My GC is an nvidea 6600 256mb, i was thinking of upgrading it but i'm not sure the MB will take it, so i'm limiting my upgrades and will just get a new system sometime in the future. What annoys me are the minimum specs they say these games can run at, they are such a lie it's untrue, the worst i've seen is CoH which says it will run on a 64mb graphics card........yeah right. :whis:
Video Card Hierarchy - Weasel - 09-07-2007 For those of you who are thinking of upgrading your video cards, here is a quick reference sheet from Toms Hardware. It is recommended that if you upgrade that you jump up at least 5 levels. Example: My old card was an ATI 9600 Pro, ranked at 18. I jumped up to a X1950 Pro crossfire, but to really see a difference I could have jumped up to a card ranked 13 or higher. Below 5 levels they say the difference isn't much. I went with a top of the line card because I was tired of always "good today, obsolete tomorrow", this 1950 will be good for a long time. RE: Have you ever?? - RedDevil - 09-07-2007 Good to know I'm running a card listed in the top 10  Thanks for the list, Chris! RE: Have you ever?? - Greybeard - 09-07-2007 Sheesh, I've just been grateful for a hand-me-down with a 1.2ghz athlon, 30g HD and 512mb ram, and 64md video card.. :) big improvment over my old 450mhz AMD K-6.. :) Later! - GReybeard RE: Have you ever?? - Iwo Jim - 09-07-2007 Ok after reading all your posts I had to see what all the fuss was about so I purchased SH3 via digital download and then installed the GWX Mod, I’ve been playing around with it ever since I was finally able to sink something tonight, the whole AOB and Gryo angle still has me a bit confused still trying to figure it out, but the game looks great and has definitely piqued my interest……
