I have Silent Hunter III V1.4.
I got the stock version of the Warship Mod 3.0 from Chinese U-47.  I got in using JSGME and i'm pretty sure i installed it properly.  I read posted directions and followed them.  I open silent hunter 3 and the WSM loading screens come up.  But when i load the mission the command report box says either "Flak Gun 1 Destroyed
           Flak Gun 2 Destroyed
           Flak Gun 3 Destroyed"
or      "Radar Destroyed"
or it says nothing.  but i cannot put people in the guns.  flak or deck guns.  the ship model has no guns at all on it.  the sidebar with the choice of flak or deck gun becomes opaque and cannot select it.  Ship moves and everything else is fine but there are no guns on the deck.  i have no idea what the problem is.  On every ship model there are no guns.  Im getting desperate because this sounds so awesome. computerbad

Wolfman,

I can't answer your question, since I have never used that particular mod.
However, another matter: you have used an unvalid email adress when you signed up in SHMF. That's a no go here. Please correct it asap.  copsm

It is possible that you have overwritten the basic file if all the ships are acting the same way.
If you read the instructions it might say what ship to use at a certain time of the war   scrtg

I'm having the same problem Wolfman is, and I'm using a Type VIIB, which according to the first ship pack converts into a Deutschland-class Panzerschiffe. I started a new campaign, beginning in August 1939, and OBVIOUSLY those vessels were in use at that point.  banghead Freaking sucks because this is such a cool mod.

I haven't played any of the SH games for a long time. SH4 was booted up end of 2011 the last time!!!

I have considered installing SH3 and SH4 on my laptop, but it's win7 64-bit. Is there anything I must know before installing on a 64-bit version?

I did recall that. I just couldn't remember if there was something else.
Anyway, I copied my LSHv5 install frem desktop to laptop, and it worked right out of the box.
Now, I haven't played this game for years, so it was like a completely new game (except for the old graphics...), and thus I really needed to go back to the school to refresh how to play and control the game. Damn, being away from a game - not to mention modding - for years actually make you forget lots of things about this game. I doubt I will ever be particular active in modding ever again. If lucky, I may remember where I put some unpublished work and then just publish it....
