Fellow submariners:
So having not played a subsim since way back in the win95 days i picked up SH4 the other day and enjoyed that but then passing my local Game a few days later they had SH5 for only £20 so i figured i may aswell. Installed that and have played about a bit am now a good portion of my way through my required tonnage for the 1st proper patrol mission. I am currently only running 1 mod which is the 360deg metric bearing marker. As for realism i have map contacts on and the event camera on (i like watching my fish explode!) apart from that i have all other options in their more realistic setting. I would like to be able to turn map contacts off cause the fun i get from the game is like in SH4 sonar gives a new contact i am submerged and i use my various bearing lines and timed readings etc to give me course speed and all my other data for me auto TDC makes it too much like an arcade game. Anyway enough with the preamble onto my questions
1. Is there and option i missed or a mod i can use to make my sonarman and i communicate contacts? To put this question into context i have upgraded my hydrophone sensors and upgraded most of his skills but he does seem to like to keep contacts a bit of a secret 1/2 the time even at 1/3-2/3 speed submerged in calm seas. I would love to get SH4 style. "New contact bearing 237 medium speed closing" is that possible?
2. Since i have not played the SH series before the last week or so i dont know which mods are essential which are good and which are eye candy/immersion only. Bearing in mind that i soon want to go full realism no map contacts no nothing manual TDC what mods would experienced players suggest i use if any.
Thanks in advance for your time.
