Both have its fans. Both have different takes/definitions on realism. Pick whichever is right for you.

I think you can get SH4 gold or the UBM addon on steam, though id recommend ordering the disk. I have the impression steam + mods doesn't always work the best, but i could be mistaken.

Thanks..

So their really that equal? Nothing like GWX vs NYGM, because GWX is the much more popular mod....

Try both and see which you prefer more would be my advice. Or if you like them both no reason you couldn't have both.:up:

OK so I will try the TMO one I guess..

So I get the 1.5 patch, then install the TMO 2.7 mod..

What else after that? Is that pretty much it? I mean besides the little mods here and there that I will eventually try out.. Is the 2.7 TMO the latest?

THANKS

To simplify...find and buy, the SH 4 Gold edition disc, I got mine for $6.00. This includes the v1.5 patch and the U-boat missions. You don't have to use the UBM if you don't want to, but the Gold edition is the best way to get the v1.5 patch. The disc appears to be much more reliable than the downloaded versions and you will have a hard copy of the game whenever you need to do a re-insatall. Play stock for a while, if you choose, to become familiar with it, then download the mod you wish to try. Just my 2 cents.

You have no idea how hard it is to answer that question. Long story short, GWX is a supermod. In SH4 there are three or four supermods to choose from.

Real Fleet boat (RFB)
Trigger Maru Overhauled (TMO)
Fall of the Risinig Sun (made by the AOTD guys)
Game Fixes only (GFO)

Take your pick.
