Shalom! From Tel Aviv-yafo, Israel.
I am not really new to the Silent Hunter series (3 and 4).
Shame to say I can't do this community much good and will be looking foward to expanding help and see a great community. I am not new to a forum, so. I should be good for a while, if this is in the wrong section, my fault.
My English is hopefully good and I hope you all take the time to read this.
What are the best surface mod for SH4?
There is two I played and highly wishes for you to try is: USS Cleveland, a light cruiser, sense I am partily blind from the 2008-2009 Gaza War, I use the tracer Cleveland, it emits a bright purple tracer rounds as it'd fire the guns.
And the USS Iowa, a battleship. I had no problems with these mods but for one little bug (see below).
What is the Bug?
The agent and the supply one, do not do those missions, it'll CTD once you get your medals.
Does all the guns fire?
Yes, everyone of them fire. The first (or second) main gun will be playable to the player.
Weakness?
The Cleveland is a light cruiser, even though it look awesome with all the guns, you'll be surprise to see that merchant ships can knock your teeth out if you're not careful, do not do the agent or supply mission and stay away from the Japan coastline as land guns can do serious damage.
The Iowa does not really have a weakness, again don't do the supply and agent mission and you should be good. Do stay away from the Japanese coastlines. The side armor are very good but the command deck and upper deck are the weakest, you can't sink from the side but can sink from the top. If you know what I am saying.
Why does my AI not fire it weapons?
After a while, the AI crewmen would be a dandy but they are not use to using the cannons... ALL around the ships, therefore you'll see that one gun will not fire or only one will. To fix this little problem, simply go to the binocular view, move it to an enemy ship and push space, that will tell the crew to fire onto that ship. You'll have to do it after one, two, or even three volleys but it is better then nothing.
I did what you said and they don't shoot.
There is a few reasons:
A. You ran out of ammo.
B. The crew is dead.
C. The gun/deck is damage.
D. The enemy ship is dead.
E. You did not feed them tacos for dinner last night.
A-The ships are not design to take on the entire Japanese naval forces, that would be cool but no, the ship only have enough for a few skirmishes and off you go.
B- The crew got hit and are killed/wounded, you'll have to replace them, but simply pushing BATTLESTATION button would replaces all tired, dead, and wounded men from action.
C-The gun can be hit and taken out of action, this is uncommon with the Cleveland after one or two raids and will have a few guns damage, the Iowa will have to have the deck damage, in this case, the deck is hit a few times near or ontop of the gun, causing it to be useless.
D- Sometimes, we are so emotional over an awesome kill we do not see that SHIP IS DESTORY message on the top.
E- Well?
How do I install them?
Simply use Generic Mod Enabler.
DO NOT USE: Sub damage mod, other ships mod, some MEGA MODS will not work with the playable ship, play around and see what can and what does not work.
I know this isn't a good guide, not the perfect one but none the less help people.
If you have any comments or questions, please tell me.:salute:
