Is it possible to return to the base just by hitting a "return to base" key as we did in SH2 and SH3.

It is very "unconvinient" at least for me to travel again all the way back from Tokyo to Pearl even in TC.

I know it is not sim like but I would like it to be there just in case.

Since I have only tried the game in version 1.0 has this been fixed in 1.3 or is there any mod for it???

Thanks in advance!!!

No there is not such a thing, not yet ( return to base ). That being said, you really should patch up to 1.3 and try some of the great mods that are available.

SH4 is a great one :yep:

i like it alot better than SH3, ive owned since bout april/may but havent been able to play it since my old desktop would crash when the mission loaded. but now that ive got my brand new Dell Insprion laptop, ive upgraded to 1.3 and have not had a single CTD.

I sure would like to enjoy it.

The problem is my rig is too old and I merely get 20-25 fps even inside sub,long load times and of course everything in minimum.

Next month I will build a new one after so many years and I intent to get a "sick" leave from job :lol: to fully enjoy SH4 1.3 in the new system :rock:

If only there was a return key :damn:

Once you get the " new rig " this won't be an issue. I can TC at about 5000, with not much slow down, so returning to base is not a problem .

Yes I know.

With the old rig it was like hell.In TC I was in the map screen,the whole map was "frozen",it moved really slow.My nerves...

So I uninstalled it.

Even the SH3 with some mods was really slow from time to time.

A month to go....:arrgh!:

The only reason I would ask for a "Return to base" cheat key would be to cover the 'hopless' situations where you get your rudders busted off, engines fried, or you managed to run out of fuel.

In those cases it is literally game over. You either have to wait for someone to come destroy you or quit the game and start from a previous save.

As Ive said before this game is not a good choice for brief gaming sessions.

I have been playing SH4 for a while with fewer radio contacts and NSM but I dont know aything about the bigger mods. What do they change and are they better than 1.3 with my mods?

Yes but sometimes is very annoying trying to get back to the port.

There is just no interest in trying to get back.You have sink whatever it was to be sunk,you are out of torps,your fuel almost exausted.

Personally I find it boring and getting tired trying to return home.I only did it once in SH3.Every 1 minute even in TC I had a new contact,and I had again to re-activate TC,and again,and again.

As it happened in the one and only mission I played in SH4 due to my old rig.

In SH1,SH2,SH3 I never rember returning to port.It was just useless for me.

Of course this is my own opinion.

Trigger Maru is a great one, it adjusts the AI and and has a bunch of other mods incorporated into it. Check out the thread, there is a nice read-me and FAQ with it. To be honest though, there are just to many great mods to describe, check out the updated list for 1.3 by Excalibur Bane, and go through the threads to find what they are about, etc.

Also, use JSGME to install them, on my sig. there is a link to a nice guide on how to install :yep:

Sometime try turning off your radio man, and your radar, no interruptions, and the trip home is much faster.

If possible . Prolong your mission with refits so you can kill more ships . Its In my mission planning .. But when you get damaged . unspoken rules are be a man try to survive and surface than abandon ship . or go down with your boat and let the honor role for the dead scroll threw , and start a new carear . Thats My motto

Wow, and oldie but goodie... :arrgh!:

So, short answer: No such thing... You can lay in a course for home, then use high time compression, but do be careful with enemy encounters at high time compression settings, in that the game does not always come back down to 1x time soon enough for the player to avoid the encounter, especially with airplanes... :o

:agree:
And also be careful not to trace your route over small islands not visible at certain zoom levels.
