should i buy silent hunter 5....?
ok simple question, i have SH3, modded it yesterday to GWXgold, but my rig, cost me a hell of a lot of money and i am thinking i want something that looks good. even though SH3 doesn't look all that bad it is still 8 years old.
If i said i would buy silent hunter 5 right now what would everyone recommend? |
You're crazy for playing a game with such outdated graphics and old software technology when SH5 is available. Patch up SH5 with my Generic Patcher and throw on some mods and it's a great game. Only going to get better as I keep working on new patches for the game :up:
|
ok, that kinda settles it then. cheers mate :) fancie sending the links for the generic mod and what it fixes please mate, i will buy it now and start downloading :)

ah right ok mate i will buy the DVD version then. i am sure i have seen a post on here saying someone got your patch to work on a steam version.
*EDIT* ow and by the way do you still need to be online to actually play the game? |

sweet i ordered the DVD version it will be here wednesday, so i will install it and add the mods from there, see how it goes. i have heard the interface on the game is quite complicated, is this true or do the mods solve this?

Not really in the traditional sense. What Ubisoft tried to do with the game was simplify the interface in order to attract a broader audience, but all it really did was take away a lot of functionality. Luckily, TDW's New UI solves this problem (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//dow...o=file&id=1582).

ok guys i got my SH5 disk through this afternoon i am have my MOD enabler installed in my folder i am just about to update my SH to V1.2 and then its time to add TDW generic patcher and his UI then i think i am ready to play :)
|
got all my mods that i want o tplay with installed.... just a quick questions... after a quick test on a historical mission i noticed none of the hotkeys from SH3 work, do i HAVE to walk around the sub to get to say the periscope or is there a way of jumping straight into raising it? simple things like that.
Mods, TDW generic patcher TDW UI (SH5 Enhanced) Cheers guys |
Yes, if you have TDW's UI then you can teleport to stations by clicking the portraits below, then the arrow at the right, which then displays the stations, if I remember correctly. In any case, I recommend you watch stoianm's excellent tutorials for the UI and other aspects of the game, all of which are linked at the main SH5 page here on subsim.

Dude, that game is nails to play.... there is no logic to anything lol. all the keys are arse about face and i the game makes a **** job of telling you what to do next, they could at least put a tutorial in there.
I am not slaggin off any mods as i think its just me getting used to the game but for some reason, first mission on campain, none of my newly modded UI comes up.... its wierd. Has anyone got any links for a tutorial, or any help on how to actually do things in the game please? |

look at all the sticky's at the top of the SH5 page on this site. its all there, all you have to do is follow their instructions...in the end you'll get there, in the end. |
I was going to remind you to click on the Amazon link at the top of the
page banner, but I see you have already purchased it. I think it is down to $6.00 with free shipping and handling included if you order more than $25 After that it becomes a labor of love to get it just right ... :up: Someday software will come with money back gurantee's :yep: |
