I only had a minute to test Ohio lastnight, but it seems that the Los Angles class is more manuverable, witch an attack sub should be. And faster, but i cannot confirm that. Other than that, they seem the same.

Well my goal with the 688i was on realism based off of knowledge from the internet, and a very small amount from being on an Ohio (the scopes on an Ohio IRL are the same height, and it isn't the taller one). The torpedoes coming back after you is a problem with the homing torpedoes from stock. After reading all of this makes me wonder what version of 688i you have.:hmmm:

Well i just gave the Ohio her Sea Trials, and i still prefer the Los Angles class/688i. But that is based off two factors. One, she has a shallower draft, thus, harbor attacks. Second, I had this problem with 688i, but it somehow remidied itself. My Ohio is just a bloody Black hull. It looks...wrong. A turd in the water.

I've been using or trying to use the Los Angeles mod V 4.2 which i think is the newest? Hd a lot of problems with crashing and instability when trying to use either sub mods with RSRDC (to avoid the mission repeat) and a HUD MOD for 1.5 I guess ther must be a conflict in amongst them somewhere, next time i will try and merge the conflicting files i guess?

I guess with the torps i should either launch from using sonar, or fire them and dive? Got to love the 688 for its speed and manouverability! I'll have to revisit it and see if i can get it working well. Maybe the cold war mod will fix my problem there?

great work though :yeah::up:

That's weird it should have the black/red hull only the 1.4 version has the black hull

Haha! ah yeah feel pretty silly now i found the RFB / RSRDC version.. I only really want to the RSRDC + 688 4.2 with maybe the shiny overlay of that hud mod on there at the minute while i get to grips with this sub. ( I dont have ms word so i have no idea what is in the readme lol. If someone could copy / paste or priv msg me the read me that would be mghty fine.)

I revisited the 688 with RFB and RSRDC installed and had a bit of a giggle, damn it was fun.. :up:

Try using Word Pad to read it, that's what I used to write it and I don't have MS Word.

Trouble getting it to work
 

I downloaded the file extracted DatabaseOhio from Zip Ohio and placed it into the MODS folder created by JSGME and then proceeded to place MODS folder into the SH4 program files then enabled the DatabaseOhio MOD in JSGME, I also checked and made sure I did not double place it. I just can not seem to get it to work. I can not select it from any of the sub selections in either quick missions or career. If someone could please help me out.

Thanks
Joe

Where do you have JSGME installed at? You shouldn't have to move JSGME's MODS folder anywhere.

wow noones posted on this in about 4 months... any ways, lo all im new here... i did have silent hunter 4 but then my comp got wiped before i get get mods for it, this thing sounds sweet... do any of you think there is possibly a way to make this work 4 SH5? And if not, do any of you know of any sub mods for SH 5 that are actually sub mods not just color or outside of the sub?

light

Yes that would be great but i don't think it's possible :(

With the interior linked to the sub and all, i hope i'm wrong

Not possible at all. Like Marka said you need to model an interior for it to work in SH5. That being said there are no other playable ships/subs/aircraft/icebergs etc. for SH5 due to the interior model being needed as well.As for gameplay videos, nothing much has changed so the videos you found are valid examples.

Personal Opinion: I have SH1-4 and will not be adding 5 to my collection for various reasons. Chiefly the DRM and perceived general lack of care for the game on Ubi's part.

ETR3(SS) you served on the Kentucky?


i have silent hunter 5 and i'm gonna be honest here i played it for about 30 minutes and switched back to SH4. I've been playing with the ohio mod for over a year now :). Now i'm trying the russian boomers and man with the mission editor this game will never get old.

Yes I did. Best experience of my life to date.

Respect!


It's a dream of mine since i was a child and the ohio is my favorite class!

If only i was an american!!! I would join the navy.

Do you have facebook? There is a page called USS Kentucky SSBN 737
Looooaaadddsssss of pictures and people that served on the kentucky.
