IIRC so long as you do what h.sie with his hardcoded fixes it's legal.

I think another thing that should be fixed, is the stupid behavior of aircraft, it can be really annoying when planes will just crash because of there bad skills.

Don't think that can be fixed outside of messing with the games code. Which brings me to another point on doing an SH4 version of hard coded fixes. Warning slight rant incoming which i'll spoiler for those who don't wanna read it.

I was under the impression that the main obstacle to this was that hardly anyone knows enough to do pull it off.

It's not that we don't know enough it'd the fact no one has ever seemed to try messing with the code for SH4 even though its been done in SH3 and SH5.

It already is.

Capn_Scurvy, with regards to ship models, I would point out the the US lacks an accurate Essex-class (the RSRDC one seems to be identical to the early Wasp), Independence-class light carrier, and South Dakota-class battleship. Also there's no British fleet carrier; I'm pretty sureI could clone a US carrier and put in the correct guns/planes, but I can't fix the .zon etc to model the armored flight deck. If this is beyond the purview of your vision, no biggie

It's not so much "there bad skills", but how the models are put together.

For instance, RSRDC introduces the American "Avenger" plane model. Good, we need the plane in-game....its a worthy addition! But, go to the Museum and let the plane fly for about 3 to 4 minutes. The plane will slowly nose up, stall, then nose straight down into the sea. This behavior will keep the Avenger from every seeing the light of day in-game....you'll never see it because it crashed somewhere off camera as it did in the Museum. I found out why and have since corrected it, but it's this kind of thing that creates issues we never expect.

After all, who spends time in the Museum watching the assets fly along?.........Well, OK......I guess I do.

I love SH3, SH4 and SH5 when its modded and can honestly say that SH4 isn't the best when it comes to U-Boats. The only megamod for it Op Monsun is glitchy as heck and there is the slight problem of the game derping out every time you get a new conning tower thus ruining the career. That bug gets fixed and you can easily argue that SH4 is also the best for U-Boats but until then it'll be SH3 running GWX3.0 easily.

I can say with 99% confidence that this mod is not aimed at playing U-boats

I know that. I'm just saying that if we start messing about with the code of SH4 we can make it the absolute best game for both Fleet and U-Boats.

I agree with u, H sie messed with SH3's code and made one of the best mod kits for the game. We should do the same.

Don't forget TheDarkWraith and his code fixes for SH5 which vastly improved the game. Who know what bugs we could end up fixing if we messed with the code. Who knows what we could unlock as well that Ubi hid away in it. We could change how people mod SH4 forever.

Maybe we can make that a mission for the NMTF.

Yes! Now we just need someone who's good with code and has experience with SH3's code.
