Important Notes:

Looking through the files I can see, you got talent!
There is a big group loving such kind of mods, but theres is sure a big group of guys hating this...

Seeing you can make a big and complex mod I recommend you to make a realism mod similar to RFB

kepp up your work

[andycaccia]

It is useful especially for someone thet wants to mod something and needs edited file to see what to do... It's also an example.

Good!

[Snaptrap]

After many hours of trial and error, I almost have a complete understanding of the mechanics behind the game. It's tough to make mods when working alone, especially when one has a time consuming job.

I do have to make a few edits in the Readme as some of the measurements are obsolete. That's the one thing I forgot to do. I'd love to do a large mod but this one here will probably be the last I'll be working on. The only thing I'll be doing with it is making additions/changes and fixes, but I will not be making a new mod should there be another patch.

The main focus I wanted with this mod is to allow people to enjoy sinking ships with some challenge. It will allow new players to learn the game as well. My last mod I felt was a bit too overpowered and it took allot out of the fun.

Hate is such a strong word. But then, so is love. Just because it's not something I would ever want to use doesn't mean it's not a welcome change. Some people just want to play it as a game, and I'm glad someone is catering to those tastes.

Great job!

I just made a small update guys. I had forgotten to add the medals to the German crew. It was the last thing I was about to do but I ended up having to run to the store for some grub. I also decided to throw in an extra 10,000 decoys for the u-boats. I love u-boats so don't be surprised if I cater to them more than the subs. Either way, both units will kick butt.

This mod wouldn't have existed if someone didn't beg me to consider doing it. After the first one, I realized some people wanted a little more destructive power to unleash.

Boy this mod is hilarious.

I just spent half an hour trying to evade a school of my own homing fish.

The minigun AA guns and the full auto deck guns are pretty fun...LOL

I was bouncing all over the map...

[Wilcke]

Cool, something for everybody!

Hehe, that will happen to you in the Walther also. In one of Syxx_Killers missions I was chased by, first my Falke torpedo, and the three DD`s.:rotfl:

Don't tell me you were firing them when at ahead flank??!! Your homing torpedoes travel at the same speed as you do.

I know nothing about RFB, but:

Silent Fire 1.5.X is for SH4 1.5 U-Boat Missions
Silent Fire 1.4.X is for SH4 1.4

Hey Snaptrap, i just wanted to give this mod a go for the campaing, so i started a new one in 1941, pearl harbor base with Los angeles class submarine. It's quite nice from the start to have crew that have quite many 100/100 abilities and lots of different torpedoes to choose from.

But the problem is that when i try to start a mission, i suddenly CTD, i dont know what is going on. Mods i have enabled is:

PE3 Install
PE3 Special effects for stock
PE3 Ship_Debris_with_Bodies
PE3 Real_Reflections_For_Harbour and objects
Row Sound Effect v_9
688i
Silent Fire 1.5.2

I dont understand it.. Could use some help here.

[Lt commander lare]

i meant what version do i download to play for the american campaign with patch 1.5

lt commander lare

[W4lt3r]

Got my bug solved, and 1.5.2 works with 1.5 aswell as german and American campaing, so it doesn't really matter.
