AVGWarhawks first impression

AVGWarhawk · 02-28-08, 06:20 PM

I like it. Thanks for the uboat stuff. Really cool. But........thanks for the extra stuff in SH4 Fleet boats

New textures and interfaces. Torpedo page, crew, machinery pages are great. This was just 5 minutes of looking around. For $10.00, I'm happy with this add on.

I see huge potential for great mods here.

Sounds really good, I'll be trying it out soon then I guess. You won me over.

Anyway,

The game FPS for me has increased.

The courier dropped this off this morning

I kissed the package

First mission in Penang IXD2 had to go to Bangkok and drop of supplies at base, next orders are to either head back to base of go hunting so im off hunting in the Indian ocean.

Only thing i wish is the crew had german voices and i was hoping i could go visit the engine room

Still patch to 1.5 from what i could see when installing and smoother gameplay.

Stupid question but will the RSRD 300 mod work now with uboats installed? I got asked to test a mod for the american campaign - rscd 300 needs to be enabled.

Anyways quite happy with the addon, good to command a IXD2 in all its glory graphics

Looks like Luker is on the case! RSRD is much needed!

Rockin Robbins · 02-28-08, 09:18 PM

MultiSH4? Pointers?

Us blind dragons have a hard time getting around without RSRD.

Seriously, for $10 it's a good deal.

I hope they sell a million . Good on them for doing this .

AVGWarhawk · 02-29-08, 03:12 PM

There is a lot of new functionality buttons. Small icon that lets you know your men are at battle stations. One that tells you that you are submerged. Not sure why on that one. Anyway, I have been able to up my resolution by two and have not lost any FPS. If I get all of this for $10.00, if I give you $10.00 Dan, what else can you get me

Agreed. There has been a huge peformance increase in the addon. My improvement is in the region of 15-20 fps using exactly the same settings as 1.4. Good Job.

Hey, AVG, you tried the 'Call for Air Support/Recon' yet?

This small additon is awesome and well implemented.

AVGWarhawk · 02-29-08, 04:00 PM

Not yet Danlisa. Really just starting my first patrol. I was busy looking over the Uboats and those goodies. I have started a fleet boat career. Thus far, I'm thinking I got my $10.00 worth and more

Check this out, I was at 1024x768 to keep my FPS good. Now I have jumped two resolutions and no FPS loss!!! Now my message box can go down on top of the orders bar. It is just super nice now. Steady FPS as well. This is from a 4 year old 3200+, 2 gig and 7800GS card.

John Channing · 02-29-08, 07:18 PM

Are the US crew voices fixed or are the unused phrases implemented?
