i have played sh3 a little and come to rely on the WO's reports.
In sh4 where are the WO's reports. The only contact reports i can get when surfaced are from the SO using his hydrophone. I though the hydrophone didnt work surfaced.

sh3 has that nice large compass with bearing vs heading on it. is there a mod for sh4 which provides this?

I patched sh4 1.3 with 1.4 and installed TMO. From what i gather TMO deals mostly with IA behavior and quality and quantity of enemy units and parameter changes on the sub and not so much with altering maps, dials, gauges, tools etc. is this correct? I guess what im asking is what can i look for to make sure TMO is installed?

You may have issues if you do not upgrade your version.

TMO isn't supported under version 1.4. You must have version 1.5 to run it without having issues down the road.

Most mega mods, including TMO, can only be used with version 1.5. There are plenty of map and gauge mods that simply changes those visuals. TMO and mods like it also change the sensor range of how far away you can be seen by a particular vessel.

I know there are older versions of TMO so check your version to make sure your not running one that isn't supported by 1.4. By the way ... 1.4 is simply the standard game right out of the box. 1.5 is the U-boat upgrade.

You'll find your GAME version by looking at the lower right hand corner of the game loading screen.

thank you very much for the response.

i have version 1.3 patched to 1.4.

i can't patch 1.4 to 1.5?

im just looking for GWX type mega mod.

i have been browsing through the downloads pages and posts related to mods for sh4 1.4. i gather that there arent many mods for 1.4 and SH4 Gold is 1.5 and that 1.4 cant be patched to 1.5.

there is so much material and much of it very detailed

i already order SH4 Gold off ebay.

corporalspiffy, welcome aboard.

You did well getting the U-boat add-on. You'll be able to take a great game and make it incredible.
I'm not sure what you're looking for in a compass. Try MaxOptics. It enlarges the compass so that it can actually be seen and has some other enhancements. I didn't include a link because there are many different versions for the different mod setups.

Now climb to the masthead and search for the white whale.
