Silent Hunter 3 Merchant Fleet Mod mod#

O Convoys fire star shells as soon as they suspect your presence O More accurate gunnery from surface ships * Surface Ship Gunnery - improvements include: * Fuel Capacity - the maximum range of each U-boat class has been increased to compensate for the SH3's world map being larger than in real life (so now Type IX boats can make a return trip to the U.S. * Engine Upgrades - top speeds (with and without superchargers) reduced to historical values

* Steering and Handling - causes your U-boat to react to its environment more naturally than in stock Silent Hunter III. GWX modifies some U-boat flotillas so that you will start your patrol inside a U-boat pen. * U-boat Starting Locations - Stock Silent Hunter III U-boats always start their missions at dockside at a U-boat base. You can use the +F2 key combination to walk through the open hatch between the two areas and observe the activities of the crewmen at their posts. You can see through the open watertight door into the next compartment.

* Open Hatch Mod for Type VII, IX, and XXI U-boats - opens the watertight hatch between the control room and the area with the Captain's quarters, the radio room, and the hydrophone room. * Integrated Orders - adds clickable icons to the screen so that the keyboard is no longer required, although all keyboard commands will still function normally (includes pre-set courses for Kiel Canal Inbound and Kiel Canal Outbound) * Indian Ocean Campaign - specific campaign files for the 10th Flotilla in the Far East * Black Sea Campaign - specific campaign files for the 30th Flotilla in the Black Sea O Fires and Explosions - improved fire and smoke effects, large secondary explosions, more below-water explosion effects and bubbles as ships sink. * Enhanced Damage Effects - adds several effects intended to better simulate the effects on surface ships of hits by bombs, gunfire, and torpedoes, including: The 11th Flotilla becomes available in Bergen, Norway upon deactivation of the 3rd U-boat Flotilla. * Alternative Flotillas - replaces the 11th U-boat Flotilla based in Norway with the 3rd U-boat Flotilla based in La Rochelle, France from October 1941 until September 1944, when the 3rd Flotilla historically deactivated and its U-boats left La Rochelle for Norway. This option increases the radius of the 3D world to 16km.

* 16km Atmosphere - the radius of the 3D-rendered world in stock Silent Hunter 3 is 8km: objects beyond this distance are invisible to the player although the game still tracks their movement and status.
