Just got this game

Capt. Lindemann · 09-11-08, 08:42 PM

Hi, I bought this game this week, and overall, I am impressed with it. It seems like a good game with great re-playability. I started looking around online and I see some players have surface ships. I see they are seperate downloads. What ships are available(Fingers crossed for a Bismarck or Tirpitz) and what do I need besides stock SHIV to play with such monsters?

Here is a list: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140762

It depends on what the vessel was build.
If it uses a fleet boat then it works with SHIV V1.4, if it uses a Uboat then you will probably need the expansion set.

That’s all.

Hi, and welcome! You're probrably better off purchaseing the U Boat Mission addon for the game. Not only dose this add U Boats to the PTO for historic Indian Ocean operations, but it upgrades the game to v1.5. Most of the major mods are geared, or will be geared towards v1.5. The addon is only $9.95 here: http://www.direct2drive.com/genre.as...nding=1&page=2

Once again, welcome to Sub Sim

When you click on the link, browse to page 4 of the games selections. About a quarter of the way down the page you'll find the addon.

WELCOME ABOARD!

I thought the UBoat missions would be more expensive

I guess 9.95 will not put me in the poor house:rotfl:

Thanks for all of the help guys, downloading some ships now.

Well I have been having a blast in the Bismarck in Career mode. Here is pictures of the last "cruise" I did. I did not complete the mission however, as I was sunk

Just barely outta harbor and had a tanker in my scope:

Then this happened

I figure there might be some carriers in this group, it would be a devastaing blow to the Americans. I make the call to attack

Beautiful wetha for rading:

My first few victims:

Then came my first cruiser.

I sank it in one shot from one turret. That is what happens when I take over fire control

Look at that beautiful shot placement

Then came my seccond cruiser:

This was my seccond to last ship sunk by the KMS Bismarck. Unbeknownst to me, the next ship in the line was the USS Wisconson. She opened fire on me. I had three sixteen inch shells go into my first turret. This was the result:

I am the glowing thingy in the middle.:rotfl:

This all happened in semi-shalow water. I believe I would want to dive on this wreck(s). Three ships within sight of each other.

Not my most successful patrol, but I must say, it was VERY fun.
