OK, what do I need to download?

[Axeman3d]

Right, as much as i know I'm probably going to hurt myself with this, I have just ordered a copy of Silent Hunter V. I was a big fan of SH-III, but when i saw the initial reviews of 'V' I held off buying it. Now I can get it for a tenner I'm all over it, but I need to know what to download for it. I've seen a load of amazing mods, but there are tons of them and no doubt some of them are mutually exclusive or rather unstable. What I need to know from you guys is what are the mods and patches I cant live without if I buy a fresh copy of SH5? Help!

Well, IMHO these ones are "must have":
UHS 1.4 http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=1775
FX Update http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174511&page=14
IRAI http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171973&page=65
MFCM http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=1572
Environment mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166178&page=75
Sober´s base waves http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2816

You can add several ones to these, Multiple UI´s, Steelviking interior, venatores sound mods, equatool, doomsdecks, Ail mods.....test some of them, all the modders make a great job and their mods are worth to install.
Hope it helps

Wow! Is there still a game under all those mods!

:D

.

[Axeman3d]

That is certainly an impressive list of mods and no mistake. You must be running about in an Akula by now! The game has been dispatched, hopefully I'll have it by Wednesday and get stuck in.

[Axeman3d]

Well, a week late but my SH5 DVD finally arrived. All I can say is... wow! Mainly because of the bugs, but still wow. My first game the Polish merchantmen took about 2 minutes to dispatch with the 1 click torpedo system, then I made for Kiel at 1024x compression. That came to a sticky end as I impaled a friendly destroyer straight in the side at 4096 knots. The game then began freaking out and killed me 6 times as the event cam went off and on. Brilliant.

I think it's now time to take this thing by the scruff of the neck and start installing mods. I look forward to getting back into it, not played since the heady days of SH3.

WoW, this is just an indication of what's not right with SH5..

Waiting for DRM to...... poof! (like a fairy)

Okay... I bought the game, Collectors edition, and now... Oh my gosh, this list is so looong...
Need some help:/ I`d like to play SHV/SHIV style. No manually target, only external view and rest, feul, reload, air - on, I mean full real.
So... could you help me please? Do I really need all of this above? At this moment, I got Env 4.5, NewUIs 520 and patch to this TDCs mod.
