Introduction
 

Hi all! I'm new here, though I've been eying this genre for a while.

So far I have SH4 and 5, and I've installed the Wolves of Steel mod for the latter, but I'm wondering if this is the best choice for a new player. I tried the vanilla tutorial campaign but got stuck because of a bug, so that was an issue too.

Can anyone offer advice as to whether WoS was a good choice for a beginner? I've played simulators before of the flight variety. I like the simulation in combat itself but I don't like as much the more mundane simulation things (I always set my plane engine to auto-start and prop angle to auto-control instead of having to mess with all of the controls). I know it's a lot more methodical with subs so I'm expecting that, but I also don't have a whole lot of time to spare so I'll be using lots of time acceleration.

I know that's all pretty vague but any tips ranging from more complex stuff to the more simple things (like am I supposed to patrol while surfaced or use the snorkel? Does the hydrophone even work on the surface? I actually don't know this) would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Aboard! Yes TWoS is the way to start. It makes SH5 the way it should have been from UBI, instead of the mess UBI released.

welcome aboard!
