who is still playing sh4? - Page 13

DrBeast · 06-26-15, 06:53 PM

Decided to revisit the old lady after a three-year-long hiatus. Of course, this meant coming back to the forum, as well. Good to see a few of the old timers are still hanging around

I also just played again myself the other day. Its been a few yrs since I took the old boat out for some search and destroy.

I am playing Sh4 again. Seems to be my fav in the series, just couldnt get into 5.

I tried TMO for Sh4 and didn't like the graphical changes. Went back to vanilla, with realistic environment mod and seems to look and run great.

Never stopped playing this. I am currently docked at Midway (Drum) following replen. Heading home to Pearl with 9 kills, all one convoy, and one escort, off honshu after dropping off agent.. Never played 3 and wont touch 5. I will not play capt of a uboat killing my own ships!

Just sound mods, nothing else, oh and depth charge reality

By these times I´m playing with FOTRS 13 modded and tweaked (with additions from FOTRS V2). A very funny thing.

Regards.

Try Improved Stock Environment v3 for TMO/RFB, with the optional Realistic Colours.

Yeah I am using that one but i still dont like it a lot , I think that stock ubm 1.5 was better ..

I also am getting back into SH4 after a long absence. I tried using SH5 but just couldn't get the hang of the torp attack. I'm a non manual TDC player and all the mega-mods have it included. Berb tried helping me get it so the circles were back but I could never get them to reappear.

On a different note. Does anyone know if the multiplayer lines are still active? I lost the user code and not needed if the multiplayer aspect isn't supported anymore.

Just thought of one more question. Can anyone here make a signature for this page? I've never learned that skill set and I'd like to get a sig with my Type IX and my U-Boat number.

To place my yellow submarine into my sig, and any other image I would imagine, I loaded my image to eg: photobucket, then posted the url in my sig.

Once I get my tower here, I'll be playing SH4 as well in conjunction with making my map. Alternate history map that is. I do not remember which mods I am running, but once I find out, I'll post them as an edit to this post.

Rockin Robbins · 07-31-15, 04:16 PM

I'm playing SH4. As a matter of fact tonight I will be shooting a stadimeter targeting video tonight for You Tube if all the stars align properly!

ColonelSandersLite · 08-04-15, 08:42 PM

Still playing off and on. Usually, the game's bugginess ends up really pissing me off and I end up putting the game aside for a month or three before coming back. I run TMO with a few small mods and some hand tuning.

Currently playing a campaign I've been playing for the better part of a year now. Started at the beginning of the war in an s-boat, now on patrol #12 in december of 43 commanding the balao.

goodpoints · 08-08-15, 09:27 PM

I just recently picked it up as I got myself on a bit of a sub-fix by playing the superb board game Silent War. I had SH5 sitting in my Steam account for the longest time so I started with that a few weeks ago, though naturally I fully intended to hop in a fleet boat if I found I enjoyed the core gameplay of the series.

It was slightly disappointing not being able to walk (or float) around the whole sub in order to really get a sense of the size difference between the fleet boats and U-Boats. So far though I'm really enjoying the the more captain-centered perspective of SH4.

I'm currently running RFB + RSRD and liking what I see so far mod-wise, except for the lack of "real navigation". Being able to plot a nice neat search pattern in the middle of a typhoon and chugging right along it at x2000+ TC just doesn't work for me. Is there a current SH3/SH5 style RealNav mod for SH4 1.5/RFB? This is the only one I could find, and it wasn't compatible with either stock 1.5, RFB, or TMO.
