Welcome to the Subsim Forums, dantheman10001. Happy to have you aboard. Check out this thread. It will help explain the mods and what they do. Depending on which version of SH4 you have will make a difference on what mods you can use. The latest version is v1.5, but some people still use v1.4. One piece of advice, you might want to play the base game first if your new to the game, before you start delving to deeply into the mods.

Hi dantheman

The first question is what version of the game do you have?

The second question to ask is at what level of ability do you want to play at.

You would not jump in the deep end if you could not swim.

Basically you would be looking at the following interfaces in this order with RFB and TMOwtw 2.50 on the same sort of difficulty level.

You also have the ability to change the difficulty when you start a career and then this can be tweaked again in ‘Game Play Options.’


Stock

GFO v1.1

RFB v2.0

TMOwtw 2.50

TMO v2.5

As a beginner do not waste your time with Stock as this is full of bugs and glitches.

Webster’s GFO is an excellent way to learn the Game.

His mod sorts out the bugs in the Stock version and adds a load of additional game play functions and additional mods in to GFO to raise it above the Stock level.

My Tutorial Post #107 offers a good starting point and can be used with or without Ship Centred Accuracy Fix (SCAF)

You can also add a mod called RSRDC which is a Campaign mod that works with interface mods and rewrites all the Stock Campaigns in to something more meanable.

Until we know what your capabilities are there is no point in explaining things that may not happen.

there are dozens of quality mods. See downloads.

What I do want, very much, is a sound mod that stops that horribly stupid crashing noise when a dinghy is launched to land agents or troops. It really REALLY annoys me.

I have spent the afternoon adding mods directly to the folders manually, and love the FJB maps, and the sound of the IJN sonar trying to find me.

I have also input websters - small rain; waterline colours, eliminate plankton; reduced radio traffic, selected new sounds.

Also torpex torps.

With the new map mods etc I had to restart the career. the above are running fine with RSRDC and TMO 2.5

Hi Red Devil

This is a really good sound mod worth considering

Cheers Berb; put it in manually, its easier, did a test patrol in Sealion out of Manila and it sounds good. Yet to try agent landing but it will arrive, one day.

Some good crew interaction, especially when surfacing.
