Is it me, or is this hello superfluous

[eRe4s3r]

Well apparently old "joiners" need to make a post or they can't download anything.. So I guess hi there, and stuff. This is a Post, its existence is superfluous. I promise I go back to (eternal) lurking afterwards ;p

And stuff....

Welcome to the durface.

Hello anyway :salute:

... even if you don't want to come to the party and sing :O:

I would be of little worth to this Forum, I am just testing out whether SH5 got to a decent modding level nowadays and am naturally missing the last mod (Open Horizons 2 1.8 Full) for my little "let's see how bad or good this game is nowadays" project.

And while I always read here (but forget to log-in, heh) there would be little I could comment on :DL

Besides, with my erratic game taste SH5 is not gonna captivate me for long ^^

Ps.: Also terribly sorry for not seeing the new member topic.. I must have been distracted or something ;p

Wel-come aboard Kaleun ...

SH5 is very playable now :yeah:

[Herr-Berbunch]

It's amazing how much people who don't contribute actually contribute. Just by asking one question hundreds, if not tens, of people can go "oh, yeah! I want to know the answer to that". :yep:

[eRe4s3r]

I hope ;p

Just got done installing Magnum Opus and Open Horizon 2 , let's see how this goes ;p

If nothing else, I might just go with Horizon and get the smaller mods separately ...

Now if anyone has any recommendations..... as to which mods I really should have..... ;P

Well your sig jimbuna made me remember I still have Silent Hunter 3 sitting around and never got around to playing with GWX3 so that's up for today ;p

For some reason, i do not really like Sh5 , it feels as if the escorts have the ability to find you in absurd situations (and with finding I mean they steer directly at you way outside of their hearing/ping/radar/visual range abilities when you are the cause of any event around them) and when playing with Magnum Opus i got several CTD's when running out of Kiel and way too bright underwater views.

To explain what I mean, for giggles i fired while sitting around a habor a torpedo at 6km distance and hit a freighter there, it was a GIII electric torpedo so no wake and silent (dunno which mod implemented that, equipment fixes? And the 2 patrol destroyers outside the habor (and more than 10km altogether away from the explosion) turned around and bee-lined at me. Makes you wonder whether they have x-ray vision. Never happened to me in SH3.

And in other times the escorts seem downright brain-dead, for giggles i poked at scapa flow by skimming via the back-door route in 1939 and shot torpedos at random, all 9 or so destroyers came at me in full speed, but about 100m from me they all stopped dead in the water. And i actually ESCAPED from scapa flow after sinking 2 royal battleships ;p While fun, that was highly unrealistic... meh

I guess nothing really replaces a mega mod like GWX

hehe I guess that is a bit OT altogether. Just wanted to write it down.

[Jimbuna]

Enjoy the GWXperience http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Glad to see you haven't gone back to lurking just yet :up:

[Onkel Neal]

Part of the reason is spam control, that's all I can say. :know:

[Herr-Berbunch]

You've controlled me to post three, now four, times. Spams awaaaaaay. :O:

[eRe4s3r]

Well just to be sure, SHIII GWX is where it's at.. I mean where I am at ;) How come no mod does this overhaul level for SH5.. so depressing. Just feels so incredibly realistic in SH3.. even though it looks pretty bad (the game, not GWX ,p).. the feeling is what counts ;)

As for the lurking.. yes its gonna come around sooner or later :O: originally i figured i only needed 1 mod.. but SH5 needs more like 5 dozen of em to feel right.. and i didn't yet find the right mods

[Herr-Berbunch]

I doubt 5 will ever have anything as long the lines of GWX but there are still some excellent modders putting in many, many hours to get it up to the standard it is now - which is probably where Ubi should've got it. The modders are still working hard and it's anything like 3 they always will be. :D
