I have been lurking on the forums on and off. I tried SH5 a few times with various mods but could never get into it the way I did SH3. I am 69 now and living alone. Was kind of afraid to try it on Windows 7 after reading all the problems people were having. Thanks to all the great posts about how to install it and get it running I finally worked my way through it. Seems OK so far.
Yes, I believe they were C2's although the ship mods have given them different names from stock SH3.I believe one was a M12B. 2 of them kept moving although at a reduced speed and one stayed stationary for 2 days. The one that finally moved off seemed to repair itself. The fires went out and the smoking was down. They were all hit at less than 1000 yards and pretty much right straight on. Tried singles and 3 at a time with about 3 degree spread. On one I went to the other side while torpedoes were loading and hit again with last 2 at about 400 yards. The explosions are nice and the crew cheers but then we sit there watching and waiting.

I have uninstalled the MFM skin packs and started another patrol. I just noticed that I may have not installed the skin packs right anyway. I had put the whole folder in the mods folder and then enabled it with JSGME. I guess I was only to use one folder at a time.

I will see how it is on this patrol with just the MFM 3.2 enabled.
Thanks,
David
