Can someone (anyone) create a mod that DISABLES all aircraft? OR a mod that drastically reduces the frequency and absurd number of aircraft?

Please don't tell me to download that websters mod either, did that and installed it and it doesn't work, in fact, it made the attacks worse!

This would be a great sim if it were not for the very unrealistic air attacks. There should be an option for turning them off. Frankly, the air attacks make this game anything BUT enjoyable to play.

Try this ittle mod:

My biggest complaint about Silent Hunter 4's enemy airstrike configuration is that there are too many night attacks. While Japan did have competent night fighters in its arsenal, they were principally used as interceptors. In all my years of playing the original Silent Hunter, I did not ever come under attack by an enemy airplane at night and I do not recall reading about frequent night attacks against U.S. boats in the Pacific by Japanese aircraft, unless the boat was close to a Jap air base and its radar was detected by the enemy.

I have made my own modification to the game's "AirStrike.cfg" file. The sole change reduces the Night Strike Probability by 90% to 0.005, from the default value of 0.05. There are no other changes. All other values are unchanged - they are the same as the ones in the un-modded Silent Hunter 4. On my system, the AirStrike.cfg file is located at the following path.

\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Cfg\AirStrike.cfg

The file is v1.5 and JSGME friendly"

You can also edit your own "AirStrike.cfg" file with Notepad - NOT Word.

Happy Hunting!
