Really getting into SH4, finally :)

Just wanted to take a minute to thank the mod community here for all the outstanding work. Upon receiving SH4 I have to admit I was a little disappointed. Had I not played SH3 I would have thought it was the greatest game ever, but I'm spoiled from all the wonderful SH3 mods out there so SH4 seemed like a step backward, other than the graphics.

Well the game hasnt been out long and already the mod community has turned everything around, you guys rock!

I tried SH4 again today with a variety of mods and the sim really came alive. Especially in the sound department. What seemed like a pretty lifeless sub when I first played the game has turned into a really immersive environment. Captian yelling orders to crash dive, crew screaming, every order given has a great sound file with it. That alone has turned the game completly around for me. Plus I noticed with patch 1.1, and the addition of a mod that increases escort difficulty, Im really getting a challenge from the game where as before I was shooting at fighter planes that didnt attack and escorts that seemed totally blind and helpless. Today I was lining up a shot at a convoy and out of nowhere a DD rammed into me and started droping DCs like crazy. I sank so fast there was no chance of blowing ballast. Now that is more like it!!

Now I have to actually concentrate and really focus at all times, exactly the way it should be.

Anyway just wanted to thank you all for your hard work, between continued patches from UBI and more mods this game will be as good or better SH3 with all its mods. Great job guys
