Dedicated to the memory of my brother who worked many long hours to bring this mod to you. I've only posted the readme to the last version. The changes made were done by him days before his passing.
Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific v1.5 – Silent Fire Elite v1.5.1 by Snaptrap
Directions: Copy the extracted Data folder into your main Silent Hunter program folder to overwrite the existing Data folder. To remove the mod, copy the extracted Backup files into your main Silent Hunter program folder. All other files are not needed. To use Silent Fire with old game saves, create the save while in your base quarters before loading the save with Silent Fire applied to your game.
Important Notes:
- It is not recommended to surface or turn at Ahead Flank or Back Emergency.
- Only fire homing torpedoes with the engines set to stop or they could home in on you.
- Be careful while using Ahead Flank on rough waters as it could cause your vessel to dip steeply.
RPS=Rounds per second MLS=Miles KTS=Knots MTS=Meters MPS=Meters per second
Torpedo Guide: All torpedoes travel at a depth of 1.5mts and arm at a range of 50mts. All standard torpedoes have two speed settings: 50kts & 100kts. All homing torpedoes have one speed setting: 50kts. All torpedoes have two pistol settings with Pistol 1 detonating on impact and Pistol 2 magnetically detonating 2mts from target. The default torpedo setting is 50kts with Pistol 1.
Changes from Silent Fire Elite v1.5.0:
- All crew medals removed to give more purpose to promotions and awards.

Special Thanks: To skwasjer for use of his Silent 3ditor tool and to Breakpoint Software for use of their Hex Workshop program to aid me with my Silent Hunter mod. To the Silent Hunter development team for making this fantastic game, and the appreciation received from those who found enough patience to allow me the time to make this possible. Enjoy! - Snappy
