How to install mods:

Which mods:
There are some excellent ones that overhaul aspects of the game. Which would be best for you depends on your taste. For me, realism and improvements on game play and controls are important. So Real Fleet Boat and Run Silent Run Deep are the way to go. Along with the 3000yard Bearing Tool.

Here are mine:
Mods used 5
RFB_2.0
RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010
RSRDC_RFB_V575
Webster's Better Mouse Arrow v1
Nav Map Make-Over v. 2.0

Also I like the SH4Report tool.

If you get into detailed plotting, you might download the MoBo Maneuvering Board tool.

You can invest a lot of time in this game. The payoffs come quick.

If you get into manual targeting, you should search the forum for the Dick O'Kane method.

As far as evading destroyers goes, your best bet is to develop a technique for setup and fire that doesn't give your position away. Fire moving. If you get the O'Kane menthod figured out, you can fire blind so they never get a chance to see your periscope. Then get away from your firing position. It may be smart to wait for nighttime to attack, especially when the skies are clear.

Also you are probably aware that, if they have detected you, going deeper than the thermal layer makes you harder to hear and gives you a chance to escape.

There are good "Let's Play" series on YouTube. You can watch guys play SH4 for hours. While I wouldn't recommend copying their tactics, because they are generally pretty bad, you can learn a lot about game play from them.

Hope that helps.
