you make me want to sink something...

Apart from sinking stuff,

I'm reminded that these games are an attempt to remember history. The prevailing mind in the gaming industry just cares about earnings and being rich, but we, as a group, care about history I think. SH3 + MOD was a great historical document/experience. SH5 has followed in the tracks of SH4 which is : improve graphics, ignore gameplay/realism. I have no sympathy for the people that made SHV. They failed to do something that might last....

But Jsquared I like seeing you fight your way through it:)

Love it so far.
And kudos for making it fun too! It's good that u used some decent mods. It makes the game appear more polished.:salute:

Oh, on a side note, your men should not smoke...in the sub...:rotfl2:

Did someone say Episode 13?!

That's right, I fixed the issue actually thanks to another mod here on Subsim! :D

So look forward to more SH5 videos from yours truly!

Not only Episode 13, but how about Episode 14 too!

Will be updating the game with new mods once I make it to port. May need help in optimizing the list.

wow... you are fast... cool... movie time

Thank you sir, may I have another?

WHY SURE! Enjoy Episode 15

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VErHoQESYg

in the episode 13... the time 6:39... you received a radio message ... periscope sited... is not mean that they saw you... is more like to make the game more fun... this message you will get when you are around 8 km near a ship (default radio message settings)... if you look closer you will see that around the each ship is an gray circle... if you are in the exterior of that circle they can not spot you visual... the gray circle represent their visual range... increase and decrease related to weather tipe, day and night time and the noise of your engine:up:

Ah, that makes more sense. Although now it makes my frantically talking about being discovered that much more idiotic. :D

In other news, Episode 16 is now live on Youtube, the last video of the night. Four videos today. Whew... I'm beat. :D

I would recommend NOT going through the channel ! way too risky !
Also, you should look at some tutorials on how to use the torpedoes, because you're going to need it, especially when you'll encounter escorted convoys :)

Already done that once. Not planning on doing that anytime soon. :D

In other news, Episode 17 is now live on Youtube.

I have the Steam version. :(

Where would that sub fix go in the list, sober?

your mentioned damage-mod
 

Hi VWFKamikaze,

in your video's you mention this mod which provide additional damage to opposing ships by fire... I run SH5 with MO, but never experienced something like that. Apparently you haven't either....
Could you (or someone else) tell me which mod this is?
I know in SH3+GWX this is standard, so I would definately want to see this in SH5.
(for you information: IRL I travelled by ship from Holland to Newcastle last week and i can't recall seeing a still burning merchantship, so i guess it finally sank :yep:)

happy hunting!

Cheeze

FX update 0.16.2 will cause damage by fire.
For best results - ensure you start lots of fires (full length of ship)

Note: the game will draw the ships in the 3d world at 30km. If you go outside that range and the ship has not been finished off, it will escape. Also if you then go back inside the 30km - the ship will re-draw undamaged.

Thanx Trevally!

I suppose you get a journal notification when the ship has been sunk?

greetings,

Cheeze

If your within 30Km... yes you will get a message that ship is sunk in your journal and message log....
If your beyond 30Km there's a good chance that the ship will reset. And you wont get credited with the kill.

I prefer to sit and watch until she sinks. Just to make sure she go's down.:D

Episode 18 now live on Youtube!
