I just watched it. Pretty helpfull. I laughed at your reasoning when you said why you had to use 2 torpedos instead of one.

That is a great introduction to the game and suppliments Neal's TDC video. This is very helpful for anyone looking at SH4 for the first time, even veteran players of SH3 and sims. I liked it a lot.

Oh, this is great. Thanks for putting this together. Well done.

Great video for a noob like me. It was good to see how the plotting chart was used to set up the attack. I'm getting pretty good with manual targetting but the map plotting was a bit of a mystery to me - until now!

A couple of questions if I may?

1. Presumably for the ship contact to show on the map you have to have that option enabled in the difficulty settings? (I'm a full real (hard?) setting fan but I may have to drop the settings down a bit to get these plots as this appears a little more realistic ie having someone doing the plotting for you)

2. How do you get the large protractor around your sub giving angles and ranges?

3. Some of the sounds were different than my game - are you using a sound mod?

Thanks again,

WB.

Very Nice

theknuck · 04-11-07, 09:27 AM

d/l now. i'm sure it will assist me in my new adventures at sea. should put all tutorial vids in the same sticky folder.

This is the mod list that I am currently using, note that all of these were obtained right here at subsim.com in either the download page or in the Mod channel of the forums. All are stackable and can be applied in any order except for the stealthy sub and ultimate sound pack. Ultimate needs to be installed first followed by the latter.

rizZO_77 · 04-12-07, 04:21 AM

wonderful video. Very clear and informative. The map plotting shouldnt be a problem for new players anymore.

Would love to see you do a TDC video like this in the future. Neal has done an impressive job, but not as "instructional" as your contribution. (also at night so it could be more clear imho)

Having watched that video i still havent grasped setting up manually (wich i'd love to learn someday, especially with the brilliant graphics sh4 has).

Thermocline · 04-12-07, 06:16 AM

Cheers Legion for that - we need more tutorials on the basics such as that. Really makes a difference to the New guys (such as myself). Awesome first torp - right in the BreadBasket as you said. Useful tip that, checking the draft and setting depth accordingly. Great Work

Should be a sticky for vid-tutorials

legion78 · 04-12-07, 02:16 PM

Thanx for the comments guys, we were all begginners at one time and I'm glad I could help some peoples out.

Monica Lewinsky · 04-12-07, 04:56 PM

That was nothing less than fantastic. Played SHIII since the 1st day it got released. Officially removed it 2 days after SH-4 was installed here. You taught me a few things I never knew - so I would not call this a Noob-tube film.

No disrespect to the other gentleman [Neal?], but if you can give a step-by-step tutorial on manual targeting in the presentation style of this video, you are going to have people by the 1,000's thanking you.

Off topic - in the mod forums, have added selective mods and those mods have taken all the "sour grapes" attitude I use to have. The game is VERY playable. Thanks goes to that crowd, too!

Thumbs up - Great job!

Monica Lewinsky · 04-23-07, 08:01 PM

Gave this GREAT flick a BUMP.

Too many new captains reporting in for duty here. Look at the FIRST post in the thread!

Don't want the download wait?

I am hosting it here. Great flick for those just joining us.
