It's worth it! Get 1.5:03:

[zero2005]

how is the realism? im not after 100%, but manual TDC is something i need, i hear 5 lacks realism compared to 3 + 4?

grafix look beatiful, and keeps sayin buy me but i need the fun of gettin torps on target manually.

What is 5 ?

[Raven79]

Are you talking about SH4 version 1.5 or SH5 now? Oo

[magic452]

I think he's talking about SH5 not SH4 1.5.
As Admiral8Q said SH4 1.5 is worth it and the mods are superb.

SH5, I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

Make that twenty, and I'm with you.
I for one won't even touch 1.5, the last few glitches in 1.4 were solveable by MODs and I got those up&running.

[nappy]

im confused. the 1.5 was a bad patch? or are you confusing 1.5 with SH 5 ?

Patch 1.5 for SH4 is a very good patch. It fixes some things (or so I'm told) but it also adds u-boats and makes way for the Operation Monsun supermod. Most mods for SH4 (either side of the war) are made for 1.5 because it works better.

SH5 I only know from what I've read.

[Raven79]

The addon adds uboats and all that, but I don't need those additions, since I'm all into fleet boats.
1.5 does far less than that, but the addon installs it, if you get it.
The MOD I'm using, fall of the rising sun, is designed for 1.4 only, too.
This mainly is to circumvent a bunch of multiplayer (and other) bugs that were introduced with 1.5 (without the addon), so I'll stick with it for the time being.

[zero2005]

Ok, so i've decided not to get v1.5, as i have SH5 now.
but i still wanna do some fleetboat work, so was just wondering of some of the 1.4 mods out there?
i downloaded RFB for 1.4, as well as 3d TDC + radar range unit.
any other good 1.4 mods? i wish someone would make a 1.4 mod page...

[Matt86]

The difference between 1.4 plus mods and 1.5 plus mods is a big one. 1.4 hasnt been developed for years and in that time much has been accomplished.
There is a thread in the fleetboats mod thread listing 1.4 mods and their download links if you dont want to upgrade.

[I'm goin' down]

this is one hell of a thread! talk about confusing.

Get 1.5 and stop whining. It cost about 15 bucks and you have the benefit of the most recent mods and supermods, including my favorites- TMO2.0 and RSRDC, plus you can also play RFB and FOTRS.

My girlfriend once wrecked my 1982 Mazda RX-7, the state of the art Mazda sports car with the Wankel rotary engine. I replaced it with a 1974 BMW 2002, the top of the line in its day. No comparison. The RX-7 won hands down. The technology was better. Don't get stuck in the past (too far anyway). 1.5 is cheap and the mods are great.

[zero2005]

even better, actually, from Direct2Drive (where i've bought all my silent hunter games from! lol) its 10$. i thought it was more than that for some reason... tho really, i kinda wish that i didnt have to shell out more cash just for some uboat action...

but i think im gunna go ahead anyways and get it just to make things easier, still i think 1.4 should have a dedicated mods page...

SH4, pathced to 1.5, which is the U-Boat add-on makes several changes to the game engine. Apparently some changes make multiplayer worse, but also in terms of fleetboats, the 1.5 patch converts SH4 to a game that relied on technology that rendered the screen at 1024x768 and then strecthed it to blurrily fit your screen, to something that was actually crisply rendered according to how your monitor manufacturer didn't envisage that the game would be played.

It cost about 15 bucks and you have the benefit of the most recent mods and supermods, including my favorites- TMO2.0 and RSRDC, plus you can also play RFB and FOTRS.

15 bucks? You mean 1.5 bucks? Or are you talking about the new bucks 5, or $5 as the kids are calling it? This stuff is confusing.
