Coming back to SH5 - Mod suggestions
 

Hi All,

I have been away for about a year or so and I am thinking about giving SH5 another try.

What is the best mega mod? I am looking for something that makes this game more difficult. The thing that always bothered me was that if you dove deep enough no enemy could ever find you and you could sneak away with no problem. This made the game very boring since there was no real challenge.

So, are there any mods that can crank-up the difficulty and make the game look more like SH3 or SH4 UI?

thanks.

:huh:

inside this forum there are two threads (which have been stickied, so you will find them on top....)

Mash, you won't be sorry, especially with all the mods out now. Like you I hadn't played SH5 for close to a year.

Once you get what you want for mods, make sure you get the CSPmagui mod beta and the latest OHII. They are an awesome improvement to SH5.

Welcome back! :salute:

Thank you for the input.

But do all of these new mods make the game harder or I should say the enemy harder? I just don't want to be able to get away from every destroyer by going deep and sneaking away with slow speed. I want a real challenge. :D

Install IRAI by TDW and you will curse that destroyer circling above you like a bloodhound...:up:

Yes they do. You have to be on your toes and use yer noggin to get away. Escorts will now stick to you like glue and can be relentless in their search to hunt you down. Deep and slow, or sitting still out of their sensor range are the only ways to survive the pounding that's in store for you. :yep:

Unless you can nail them when they first start coming for you. That's the best way to survive. But you need patience to wait for the right time to get them first. Sometimes it's better to sink all the escorts you can and then go for the merchants. It's better to have only one or two escorts hunting you down than having the whole pack of them after you. ;)
