An Introduction To Sobers Subsim Bonus All In One mega Mod 1421020072017.
For those of you who like to play with Auto TDC I have added some additional information in the Blue section towards the bottom of this post. Sobers Mega Mod has to be played as separate Campaigns. This is to simulate new crew and you get a lot of points for Sinking Ships to enable you to build up their skills. My Mega Mod now includes vdr1981 No Tonnage Bar Free Roam Mod. All missions are Date Based, NOT Tonnage Based. You cannot have a Continuous Career with my Mega Mod as it has been designed to be played in different Campaigns by using “silentotto” If you want to run a Career Campaign type of game then you need to use the excellent ‘The Wolves Of Steel’ Mega Mod by vdr1981. You will notice quite a few intentional differences than you are used to if you have played Silent Hunter 5 before. I wanted a game as to how I wanted to play it, (modders prerogative) and I would like to share it with you. Please note that my Mega Mod is designed to be played in a New Campaign at “Realistic” which sets the Game Play Settings at 100% and using the Real Navigation Mod. Helpful Tips and Stuff you have to know or else! I wanted a Cleaner Hud rather than the conventional click or press and it is all done for you. Most things are done by giving orders to the Crew directly by clicking on their Avatar or by using the Officer Icons at the bottom of the screen. The game now starts with the VIIB U-Boat, this is essential for my mega mod to work correctly. Battery Gauges do not work in the VIIA U-Boat. All Gauges needed are found Inside the U-Boat. My object was Less Hud, use the Gauges, that is what they are there for. You still get occasional Fuel Updates etc., in the Message Box and.Blackboard. Picture 1 > Showing Standard Depth Control Icons > Decks Awash > Snorkel Depth > Dive https://s17.postimg.cc/ds42zbd6n/sta...h_Controls.png Picture 2 > Hud showing Advanced Depth Control. https://s17.postimg.cc/bc29ldv33/Sta...ne_Control.png Clicking the Shortcut C key will bring up the Compass. Click on the Compass to Change Direction. Click on the Tab below the Compass to show the Rudder. Moving the Compass, to a New Position you need to find the sweet spot X and then you can drag it. Picture 3 > Shows the Compass Expanded. https://s17.postimg.cc/4a8xcxokv/Big_Compass.png Click the Ctrl key to bring up the Depth Meter and Adjust Depth at any time. https://s2.postimg.org/xkdle4g09/Tog...d_Standard.jpg Picture 4 > Conning Tower Gauges https://s17.postimg.cc/any0gaocv/con...ower_Dials.png Picture 5 > Conning Tower Showing The Speed Dial Above The Curser https://s17.postimg.cc/kmiz2bfnj/Con...Speed_Dial.png Picture 6 > Command Room Gauges https://s17.postimg.cc/e8tvza0jj/Gau...mmand_room.png Picture 7 > Dive Plane Gauges Changed from Automatic to Manual is replicated on the Command Room Dive Plane Gauges. https://s17.postimg.cc/4biv6cqen/Dive_Plane_Gauges.png Picture 8 > Command Room Battery Gauges https://s17.postimg.cc/lot5ld6bz/Battery_Dials.png Picture 9 > CO2 is in the Command Room to the Left of the Helmsmens Tiefenmesser 25 Meter Gauge. https://s17.postimg.cc/tvl5cgjen/CO2.png Picture 10 > Compressed Air is also in the Command Room above the mouse curser. https://s17.postimg.cc/w05idm5mn/Com...Air_Gauges.png Picture 11 > Fuel is in the Engine Room. https://s17.postimg.cc/8yox7y5zz/Fuel_Gaoge.png https://s2.postimg.org/4jbizbc55/Eng...m_Gauges_2.jpg Picture 12 > Stern Gauges Battery Room. https://s17.postimg.cc/xqojff7tr/Battery_Gauges.png U-Boat Speed. The quickest way to find your Speed is to use the Teleport Bar Shortcut Key ‘T’ and Teleport to the Hydrophone/Sonar Station where you will find the Speed Dial on the wall above the Hydrophone. Picture 13 > Speed Dial in Sonar Staion showing 7 knots. https://s2.postimg.org/lkizos4rd/Sonar_Speed_Gauge.jpghttps://s17.postimg.cc/71s73950f/13_...peed_Gauge.png Press Shift+B to bring up the Blackboard. The Blackboard contains critical information you need like Moon Phase, Sunrise and Sunset etc. Picture 14 > Blackboard https://s17.postimg.cc/5mqmeow9b/14_Blackboard.png Decks Awash. When at Decks Awash you must Submerge or Dive next. Do not order Surface if at Decks Awash. Do not order Reverse while at Decks Awash or your U-Boat will flood. Game Objective. The main idea of my Mega Mod is to Upgrade The Crew as much as possible and stay alive until the Current Campaign ends. You get Skill Upgrade Points for Sinking Ships. The Scapa Mission is good for getting these points. Why are the Campaigns not Linked? I did not want linked campaigns because i think it is more realistic to start with a Fresh Crew every time and try to get Skill Points to Upgrade them. That is the premise of my Mega Mod. No Campaign Fixes needed and No Uplay needed. This is Disabled in TDW’s Generic Patcher with the Uplay Patch Disabled). Please note that you cannot make changes to the Generic Patcher with my Mega Mod. Diving Method 1 Its best to work out which is the best diving method that suites your game play. Do i click on the Watch Officer and order Flank Speed? While going down the Hatch Ladder I also click on the Dive Button? Now I go to the Navigator and order a Depth Report. Press the Ctrl key and click on a Submerge Level? Diving Method 2 Alternatively i can climb down the Hatch Ladder and go straight to the Chief Engineer and order Flank Speed? Or do i order a Depth Reading first? Crew. Crew Abilities and Special Abilities are Disabled when the Crew are Injured or when the Crew has No Morale. Promotional Points for the Crew - Secondary Patrol Missions, Spy Infiltration etc... or ShipSunk_DefaultShip Event:RewardMorale (1.0); Event:RewardSkillPoint (3); ShipSunk_Destroyer Event:RewardMorale (2.0); Event:RewardSkillPoint (6); ShipSunk_Battleship Event:RewardMorale (3.0); Event:RewardSkillPoint (9); Crew Orders. (See Post #6) You will find on each Crew Member Additional Orders. Some orders normally found on the Officers Bar at the bottom of the screen have been removed. This makes for a more personal experience as Captain by having to Interact with your Crew to give the necessary orders. Equipment Equipment is available normally by Historical Date except for those bought with Renown Points. Renown Points can be used or saved anytime you are in the Bunker before starting a New Mission. If you do not have any Renown Points for early access then they will be available by Historical Date. Earning Points for New Equipment. By the Number of Ships Sunk or Amount of Tonnage from anywhere in the world. Being offered a New U-Boat Upgrade. Rating Points gained by Sinking Capital Ships and Tankers anywhere in the world. Awarded Medals by Overall Tonnage and Sinkings Capital Ships. Get To Know Your Boat. The best time to practise and get used to my Mega Mod is to use the Baltic Operation. From Memel to your Baltic Operation Area you will have plenty of time to run through all the different procedures. Visibility Level plays a big part in my Mega Mod. The Gamma Setting must be kept at the default halfway level. If it is too dark then you should decide if you should wait for better light conditions. Press Shift+B Key to bring up the Moon Phases. Helpful when attacking in Scapa. Playing sobers mega mod without the “Real Navigation” mod While this mega mod has been designed to play with real navigation there is no reason why it cannot be adapted to be played with “Auto TDC”, and/or “Manual targeting”. This tutorial will show you the basics and set you on the right path. Disable the “Real Navigation” mod in JSGME. TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) Go to your main game folder then data/Applications Select the OptionsFilesEditorViewer (OFEV) Double click on the Mickey Mouse icon. Select your language by double clicking on it. Double click again on the Mickey Mouse icon. Open the File Tab. Click on “Set path to menu. txt” Look at the path showing and change it to show data/menu. Double click on the last item “menu.txt Open the File Tab again. Click on “Set SH5 install path” Find your main game folder click on it but do not open it. May look something like this: C Ubisoft Silent Hunter 5 Open the File Tab again. Click on the first “Open” Double click on the py file showing. The OFEV will open and show a row of Tabs. The “Snorkel” can only be enabled when in the “Bunker” This snorkel is mounted on the left side of the bridge and not on the Deck. The OFEV can be changed at any time you are at sea as long as the game is not being played. Opening each Tab will show you one or more patches which will allow you to personalize your game. Do not make changes for the sake of making them and if you do not understand what a patch does then it is best to leave it alone or ask. I will draw your attention to just a few patches which you may wish or need to change. HUD If you want to see the lower left “Essential Controls and “Top right hand side bars” then you need to disable both of these. Ships Journal Here you enter your Captain’s name and also your U-Boat number. TAI and NAV Maps These Map tabs will have “Minefields” enabled which you may wish to disable. XO TDC If you want to play with "AUTO TDC" then you will need to disable the last patch “Manual targeting enforced” Saving your changes When you have finished making changes go to “File” and select “Save” and your game will be updated for your next game play. AUTO TDC > Optional Time Compression Changes Path C:\Documents\SH5\CFG\CFG Main You may wish to speed up your TC as you will always know where you are in relation to what is around you. You will see that sober uses TC256, you can change these to read 512 without making your game unstable. Whether the game will accept TC1024 I will leave to you. Starting a New Career with AUTO TDC Enter your Captain’s new name. Next type “silentotto” into the empty space this will open all the campaigns. Select the “Campaign” you wish to do. Do not change the “Medium” realism setting. Start the game. When the game loads to the Bunker use the “ESC Key” and go to the “Main Menu”. Select “Options” and “Game Play Settings”. You can customize your settings but make sure the “Manual Targeting box is left unticked. Apply the changes and go back to the “Main Men”. Select “Save Game” and at the curser enter a save game reference and save the changes. Go back to the “Main Men” and select “Continue Campaign” You can now upgrade your boat, select the mission, and start the patrol. |

Sobers Mega Mod Game Playing Tips
Operational Tips. You have to be at All Stop before Enabling or Disabling the Propeller Shafts. When a Saved Game loads the U-Boat will be operating on 2 Props. If you want to Reduce Cruising Speed then Stop All Engines, Disable 1 Prop, then order your New Speed. Most Efficient Fuel use is Ahead Standard on 1 Prop. Check the Engine RPM Gauges in the U-Boat if unsure both Engines are at All Stop. Other Operational Tips. Press the C key to bring up the Compass. Click on the Compass to Change Direction. Click on the Compass Tab to see the Rudder. Crew Abilities and Special Abilities are Disabled when the Crew are injured. Press Shift + B to bring up the Blackboard. This contains Critical Information you need like Moon Phase, Sunrise, and Sunset etc. Equipment And Renown Points. Do not access the Equipment Officer at Memel (Baltic Operation). The Equipment will not be used at Kiel and you will have lost your Promotion Points for accessing early development equipment. Instead wait until at the Bunker in Kiel and then Request Equipment. Equipment is available normally by Historical Date except for when used with Renown Points. Your saved Renown Points can be used at any time before starting a New Mission. If you do not have any Renown Points for early access then they will be available by Historical Date. Enemy Aircraft Patrol Areas. Airbases are approximately 300 km Radius. Know where Heavy Air Cover is by using the Compass Tool to Draw a Circle 300 km Radius Around the Airbase icon. Avoid Travelling on the Surface during the Day in Heavy Air Traffic Areas. How To Use Decks Awash. If you are at Decks Awash and want to Surface again, you have to go below decks and order Periscope Depth first. Wait until at Periscope Depth and then order Surface. While at Decks Awash there is No Crew Spotting. You can use the UZO yourself. Do not order Reversing Speeds while at Decks Awash, or the U-Boat will Flood. U-Boat Damage. If your U-Boat is damaged and you are resting on the bottom then you have to stay at 1TC or more damage will occur (known mods issue). CO2 Warning As soon as you get the CO2 Warning icon you must Surface to replenish the Oxygen. You can use Promotion Points to Upgrade Crew Efficiency regarding CO2. Gameplay Morale Points and Skill Points Each Ship Sunk. ShipSunk_DefaultShip Event:RewardMorale (1.0); Event:RewardSkillPoint (3); ShipSunk_Destroyer Event:RewardMorale (2.0); Event:RewardSkillPoint (6); ShipSunk_Battleship Event:RewardMorale (3.0); Event:RewardSkillPoint (9); General Gaming Tips Attack Stealth is the primary tactical advantage of a U-Boat. The best Attack Solution against a Ship is from a 90 Degrees Angle, at a Range of about 800 meters. Torpedoes arm themselves after a run of a few hundred meters away from the U-boat, for safety reasons. Form a Wolfpack whenever possible when Hunting Multi Escorted Convoys. Try to attack from the Dark Side - into the Sunrise, Sunset, or Moon, - Silhouetting the Target against the dim light. The G7a Torpedo is fast and reliable, but it also can be spotted by enemies due to the bubbles it leaves on its run. Use the Deck Gun against Unarmed Merchant Ships in order to preserve the limited torpedo supply. Try to avoid Aircraft at all costs. Defensive Tactics The Crash Dive option should be used rather than engaging Aircraft on the Surface. If using Real Navigation the Navigator cannot calculate by Celestial Fix in Stormy Weather or When Submerged. He can only give you a Dead Reckoning in these situations. Take every precaution against Armed Merchants (AMC types). Avoid keeping the Periscope above the waterline too long. It's better to raise it for short periods from time to time in order to reduce the chances of being visually detected. Use the Observation Periscope from the Command Room to sweep search before breaking the waterline to surface. Its higher magnification power makes identification easier. Use the Attack Periscope from the Conning Tower to Target Enemy Ships in submerged operations. The Attack Periscope is less likely to be visually detected by the Enemy Watch Crew than the Observation Periscope. Decks Awash offers the advantages of Both Diesel Propulsion and a Very Low Silhouette. The Watch Crew cannot spot while at Decks Awash. Binoculars cannot be used when at Decks Awash. Sonar The best way to listen to sea traffic is to submerge (below 30 meters) and Stop All Engines. The Sonar Range is no longer affected by your U-boat engine noise. Destroyer Tactics. Normally a Destroyer should not be engaged, but if the situation calls for it, use a Salvo of High Speed Torpedoes and shoot from close range. Do a Hard Turn at Flank Speed just as the Destroyer is at Point Blank Range above your U-Boat. There is a high chance of avoiding Depth Charges this way. Do a 360 Degrees Search with your Periscope before breaking the surface as this can mean the difference between life and death. You can never know when a Warship silently waits for you to surface. Silent Running. Using Silent Running while submerged will reduce the CO2 Build-up in the U-Boat so you can stay submerged for longer. Recharging Batteries. Recharging the Electric Engines Batteries is done by traveling on the surface. This is not done automatically so an order needs to be given. The Diesel Engines are used to turn the Electric Motors so that they act as generators to Recharge the Depleted Batteries. U-Boat Tactics. With these mods you will have to Think like a Real U-Boat Captain. Do i really want to attack this Multi Escorted Convoy on my own or shadow it and form a Wolfpack? Tactics: Now that the skipper has worked himself into a visual sighting, a carefully developed plan which includes the actual approach as well as Evasion Tactics, are in order. Escort Tactics. One of the Escort Tactics that you are going to need to understand if you are to survive your Atlantic War is the "Triangulation Attack". Use Wolfpacks whenever possible. Use Silent Running when submerged to keep your noise signature to a minimum as there is less chance of being Detected by the Enemy. AI Support. AI Support: Engaging Enemy Ships in well defended areas is very dangerous. As soon as the attacked ship detects the presence of your U-Boat, Air Patrols and Surface Warships will start to converge on the area. Defensive Strategy A U-boat’s best defence is concealment. Once this cover is blown, the next best recourse is to Dive immediately. Being Spotted On The Surface. If a U-boat is spotted on the Surface, the first thing the Escort will do is to shell it immediately and force it to Submerge. Sonar Evasive Measures. Depth reduces the effectiveness of Sonar. The deeper the U-Boat, the more difficult it is to locate. A good Evasive Measure is to Dive as deep as possible and as quickly as possible. While the Radar is a very powerful tool, do not forget that using it will give away your presence. Detection. The game has a lot of things that influence Detection such as, Light/Night/Fog/The Enemy’s Speed/Your Speed/Thermal Layers/Your Surface Area shown to the Enemy/Waves/Enemy Equipment Type/Enemy Crew Rating and Fatigue + much more. Rules of Thumb 1: If I can see them, then they can see me. Rules of Thumb 2: Until proven otherwise, All Merchant Convoys have Elite Escorts. Rules of thumb 3: All Escorts are to be classified in the "Elite" Status regarding Anti-Submarine warfare. The longer you linger in an area admiring your handiwork with Torpedoes, the better the chances that your position will be detected by Pinging DDs. From the moment your first Torpedo leaves the tube, you have potentially revealed your location. If you have Heavy Fog the best option is to sit and wait it out as Real Navigation is too risky. |
