KillerSub brings the Hell back to Mother
Earth and you're the Devil! So, what does
KillerSub does? It:

-- extends ammo of all of your guns x200

-- lowers the reload time to ~0s

-- lets you switch between HE/AP in ~0s

-- allows you to swing with your guns as
   fast as you can move them around

-- increases shell travel length x2

-- increases shell travel speed x10

-- lowers shell travel angle to 0 so your
   guns can be now used as laser beams or
   Rail Gun (known from Quake)

-- sets speed of your sub a bit up (~25)

-- sets submerged speed to the same speed
   as the surfaced one

-- lowers dive time from full surfaced to
   periscop height from 1m20s to 35s

-- lowers dive time from periscop height
   to 45m from 1min to 23s

-- lowers (emergency) surface time from
   50s to 43s

-- lowers eject time of torpedoes to 0,2s

-- lowers reload time of torpedoes to ~3s

-- increases power and damage radius of
   all your guns and torpedoes x3

-- lowers rolling/pitching of your sub to
   the minimal making it easier to aim in
   the storm weather

To use this MOD properly, you should end
the patrol (dock at the port), quit SH4
completely and only THEN you can install
this MOD and enjoy it as intended! If you
do not do it this way, it wont work!

UBI - for creating Silent Hunter 4

SubSim.com - for letting people talk and
share their interest about subsim games

CaptainCox - for being my favorite modder

nvdrifter - for creating Super Guns MOD
which was an inspiration to do KillerSub

You - for having fun with this MOD =)



-----------------------------------------
               N O T E S
-----------------------------------------

No, this MOD is not a copy of nvdrifter's
Super Guns MOD. KillerSub uses some of
the ideas presented in Super Guns, but it
goes much further in its evolution. Also
it does not "vaporize" the ships as Super
Guns MOD did while using Deck Gun.


Yes, using this MOD does not make your
game historically correct as most of the
subsim.com hardcore fans wants SH4 to be
but I've created KillerSub for the so
called "casual" players who just want to
enjoy SH4 in a bit another way - the FUN
way! And I do enjoy it this way, so let
me and the others be! Thanks!


KillerSub was tested on SH4 v1.2 with
Balao sub. I did not tested it with other
subs, so there might be some problems. If
you do find any, please notice MaxT.dk

Yea!!! The Anti-RFB mod!!! Nice one mate, when I get a machine that can run SH4 properly I'll try your mod.

Arcade is fun too!

I'm only a part-time realism narzi.

You can, more or less You don't even have to zoom with your guns to bring the target down :p Even if it's 10km away

I agree with that.

Being Swedish I know a bit of rudimentary Danish...Loose translation:

Well Done MaxDk...I have myself played around with some tweaks but have not found the right settings for diving/depth on the sub.

So now we can go berserk on rice cookies ha ha ha ...

Thanks guys
Also, CaptainCox, you're in the credits, if you haven't noticed it

More powerfull as? Speed? Gun power? Torpedo power? What's on your mind?
Also, with this MOD you should be able to sink any big ship with max 2 torpedoes. In most cases (+95%) it'll take max 1 torpedo Same (more or less) goes for the Deck Gun. I wanted to keep some sort of randomness, otherwise you would always know that any ship will be dead just after your 1st hit :p


Thanks, reallydedpoet and yeh, realism all the way can be boring at least for me :p

Well,

I personally wouldn't mind a SSN mod. Make one of the fleet boats act like a railgun armed Sea Wolf, Los Angeles or Virginia class SSN. Although we'd need a MK-48 ADCAP mod to go with it.

[CaptainHaplo]

Max - FYI you can make the sub nearly unsinkable by modding the HP of the boat. In addition - you can mod up the speed to somewhere around 40-43 knots. Thats the fastest I have been able to make my Tambor class go. Basically turn it into a high speed Fast Attack Ship - or the WW2 equal - the PT boat. That may be what they are asking for.

I am considering a mod that would make the deck gun of a sub have the same power as a single main gun on a Missouri class. Give it the same speed and armor as the Missouri - and see how it fairs against the Japanese BB's of the time. I personally wouldnt try against the Yamato - as that particular ship cant seem to fire!!!!!
