thanks but when i load midway battle, my ship sink

how i can change that

mission editor?

When you load Midway battle you are in a submarine that is submerged. You can go to mission editor and change the submarine depth to 0
Peabody

and where is that mission editor?

where to download?

you don't download the mission editor it comes with the game. It is in program files, ubisoft, in the Silent Hunter 4 folder.

Sub Ace is right it is SH4missioneditor.exe
start it
Go to file Open (normal mission)
Go to "Single Mission" folder
Find the one you want. SM01 Battle of Midway
Open it
At the top is a little hand, click it so you can click on the map to move it.
Find the ships, your sub is the round one. Triangles are planes, Squares are ships.

Now look at how many ships and decide if maybe you should play it as a sub. That's why ships are no good in regular career.

If you want to change it, zoom in with your mouse button to find the sub.
Click on the hand so it is off.
Now you can click on the sub,and the circle is highlighted
Now with the right mouse button click on the sub and select "Properties"
A panel will open and at the top you will see "Height -18" that is how far the sub is underwater. Change it to 0 and then hit enter.
Save the mission. Now go get blown up.:lol:

You can drag your sub away a bit if you want, but if you go too far it will take forever to get back.

Enjoy.

thanks for all peabody!

No problem. I still haven't figured out the problem with the Campaign mode. It gets to the start inside or outside harbor and then crashes.

oh and i have found a bug : the iowa is invinciblee :damn:
i am playing with nsm 4.0 and P.E.3
i killed 1 bb 3 or 4 cruisers and some destroyers... with zero damages :arrgh!:


Edit : TEST of hull strenght

Reedit : hull is invincible : destroyed 2 yamato + 1 fuso + 30 airplanes (bombers)

I know the damage won't show, they don't have that stuff working yet or I guess it's a lot of work. But I don't know why you don't get damage even if it doesn't show. ?? I didn't change anything to make that happen. In fact I was testing the Kongo and got sunk twice by planes. I will have to see if someone knows, I don't.

I guess I'll have to close the shipyard, too many things I don't know how to do.

The Iowa does take damage but only if you're in control of the turret. Infact I was up against the Yamoto and it actually sunk me

EDIT: pozine how did you sink the yamoto I put 300 or so 16 " shells in her and I couldn't even dent her.

v1.337

destroyed 1 yamato + damaged the other (sorry) how i did to sink it?, maby with luck because the yamato exploded. after there were no enough shells in shell bunker to sink the others BB.

LoL... I took a torpedo while going into action with the USS Iowa and the bow was half submerged under water... putting my forward main guns out. I was hoping for the DC teams to spring into action... but they must have been busy else where at the time.

wow! yesterday 2 yamatos and 50 planes sank me when i was in control of uss iowa... but it takes 1 hour (ingame time) The yamato main gun (46cm diameter) can destroy 60 cm of armored steel... at 44 km. so why it takes 1 hour to sink me? I was at less than 1km of them. At that distance, the yamato's main gun can probably destroy 2 meters of armored steel.
so, 1 yamato could 1shot or 2shot an iowa class battleship if they aim correcly...
(magasine explosion)

ok now,

where can i edit the hull strenght of all ships?
