Mods:
GreenLamp Mod- Simple and amazingly needed! First one I downloaded
SH4 Crush Depths- I wanted to play as accuratly as possible and it was hard to do with wussy crush depths in the stock game. I like it to be realistic
Captain Midnight's CBS News Sound Mod - The Crew needs somthing to listen to while out on patrol. Depsite the fact that CaptainCox found problems with it, I still use it. The doubled up music sounds like interference to me, and only happens rarely. "Johnny Got a Zero, Johnny Got a Zero..."
SH4 Realistic Battery Life- Again, I like realism.
Retro Nav Tools- I got tired of having clutter on my chart table. It was nice eye candy but when push comes to shove, I like SH3's Nav tools. Simpler, easier, cleaner.
Ultimate Soundpack- Love the custom noises added in this mod. There was problems though with voice sounds added for dives and surfaces, so I just deleted them. I didnt like the U571 Quotes all the time either, personal taste. Everything else from creaking to engine hums to torpedo noises and gunfire all sound better than stock
Beery's Sun and No Intro Mod- I liked what Beery's mod did to the sun. I almost have to stick my hand up infront of my face because the sun's glare is so nice through my monitor. I did like the poem intro movie though, so I kept that, but no more ubisoft logo
ParaB's Tweeked Airstrikes- More realistic Jap plane patrols. Works great! On my last patrol we only spotted 3 or 4 flights of planes, and they only started looking for me once I started causing trouble off Guam. Way better than the swarm of bees in the stock game.
Green Lock and Position keeper Button- Everything else CaptainCox did was great, this is too. Makes seeing if my tracker is actvie or not.
Real Medals Mod- I like realism, if you cant tell. Earning real medals is better than crackerjack prizes...
CaptainCox's Telemeter 8dgr Lense- I actualy have both his lenses but this one seems like a normal real periscope. I dont know which one was historicaly used, possible one lense for attack and another or observation, but this one has tick marks for me to check height and bearing and all that jaz, plus the eye cups now seem more 3D. Huzzah Realism!
360 Imperial Bearing Tool- had it in SH3, Have it now! It's very helpful
Misc- I also changed some Texture files. On the interior of the sub there are some pictures of US Soldiers in europe smoking and saluting. Thought this was silly so I replaced them with the actualy historical pictures from the launch of the Triton and a picture of the commanding officer of the Triton when it was sunk- my salute to him. I also changed the pics on the desk of the captain's desk in campaign mod to Triton pictures. Also, atleast on the Tambor Class sub, the posters seen are not that large in size. I replaced the picture of a girl painting (though easy on the eyes) with a Speed-Bearing chart that I photoshopped to look like paper. It hangs near the Periscope in the Conning tower, so it is both authentic looking and useful as i'll use it when trying to get speeds in using the only function that works on the chrono, the timer.
