The reason I chose SH4 over 3 is pretty much because I'd rather have the better looking game, I mean Idealy i'd like the better gameplay, but mods arn't going to make much a difference to me untill I get a handle on the game. I could't tell the difference in realism between them yet anyway. I mean im alreaddy overwhelmed in the Realism department (in a good way) and the immersion department.
The furthest ive goten in terms of getting my feet wet so far is the convoy attack in the tutorial, what I'd love is a step by step guide and explanation based on that tutorial (I'm not suggesting someone here does, I mean if you do great, but im not holding my breath is what I mean).
Ok heres my first question, where do I start in that tutorial... I can see the ships on the sonar, after setting the range to the midle knob, but I dont really know how that translates into what direction to go in, exept that that in turn puts it on my map. So theres a bunch of markers for the ships so I head in that direction not knowing how long it will take, I do this on the surface (its best to do long distance travel on the surface yes? I dont know if that was right in this circumstance though). Eventually I see a plane, submerge periscope depth, get completely lost, try to head in the general direction of ships. I surface again, an escort starts shooting at me. I lost all sense of doing anything right there, but I did manage to sink and escort (with auto-targeting ofcourse, im not going that far into the deep end yet).
Well that pretty much sums up how much I dont know what im doing hahah. It might take a while, but Im going to get some kind of grasp on this game if it kills me.
