Default "Be more aggressive"?

Been playing the American campaign ( Drumbeat) recently which appears to go on till August 1942. I am at approx February 1942 with well in excess of 300,000 tons under my belt, however, i must have received at least 5 requests from the B.D.U to be "more aggressive"
Which Ubisoft twerp thought that one up?
He he.

It's an old one dating back to SH3. You could only recieve a couple of messages, either "Be More Agressive" or something like "Good Job!" This of course depended upon whether you were sinking a lot of tonnage or a little. I can't play SH5, so I'm not sure how it works in that version, but it is an oldie. In SH3 it has been changed by various supermods.

Many thanks for your reply. It's rubbish!. Not your reply, "be more aggressive".

Hello Peter. Good to see you are alive and well.
Last occasion we spoke, i believe you were traveling around the Pacific and that neck of the woods with our American cousins, causing mayhem upon the Japanese imperial Fleet. Still in that neck of the woods (SH4)?

Not heard from Devastator recently, trust all is well with him.

Graham

Hi Graham

Yes still on my first patrol and have completed a number of missions
within it.

Really liking SH4 with the American setup.

The mods available for SH4 are really good and reliable and you do not need the quantity unlike SH5.

Well put thought out both of these TMO and RFB.

My mods

TMOwTw 2.50
wTw 2.50 Max Optics with Crosshair
Webster's Eliminate Floating Plankton
Eye Patch for TMO v1.7
Bigger Better Protractors
Convoy Routes TMO+RSRD
Stop The Shouting
Pacific Sound Mod

I am going to have a go at SH3 just waiting for my dvd to arrive.

GWX 3.0 and SH3 Commander look blistering.

Just going through the 2 manuals fantastic.

No I have not heard anything from Devastor it is funny how people just disappear also Raven.

Most interesting about your games, old friend.
I have SH4; Silent Hunter 4, Wolves of the Pacific as a DVD which I purchased some time ago and is set up on my computer. However, I rarely play it and have no idea where to acquire mods for it.

Sh3 I believe is an old classic in the series, so I am informed.
Will it play on modern Windows 7 and above?

Sh5 I have at last in a working order and not causing too much of a problem.

Having said that, there are some niggles in the system somewhere such as when on the Cape Town campaign (Distant Waters), having clocked up practically 400,000 tons of sinking's, for some reason the objectives slider bar is not showing/reflecting, correct recording of this tonnage (i.e.; completion rate achieved)

I find these SH5 niggles somewhat disturbing still, after all this time. Hey ho!
Current set up as below, purely for interest sake.
Incidentally,"Wharfox crew always whispering (German version) I believed to stop the NCO's from screaming their heads off when in action?
Does not appear to work very well for me. "Bad for crew discipline", don't you know?

Yes, absolutely. Many people still play it on Windows 7 and 8.

Hi Graham

I think Shadow Improvements has taken over from sobers DOF.

Still some niggles with SH5 especially the tonnage bar not filling up which seems to be happening to some of which is unexplainable as to why this happens to some and not others.

I really like SH4 as an alternative to SH5 and play it regularly with the American set up..

I just received my SH3 dvd today from an Ebay seller.

Very underated game and has almost a cult following.

When you get into it with GWX and SH Commander the 2 manuals alone are awesome and then you add some YouTube videos and you can see why.

SH3-4-5 I do not know how I am going to fit it all in.

Peter

@pinner2010

SH3 certainly works on W7 (the OS I have) and having read your deleted post, SH3 can be obtained from Amazon UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silent-Hunte...ilent+hunter+3

If you click on the Quick Links near the top right of this page then select Amazon and once their click on the Amazon UK link SubSim will receive a small commission at no extra cost to yourself.

How Do I Know Which Silent Hunter III to Buy?

This information refers only to English language discs.

You can still buy new dvd’s for SHIII made by Encore.

These come in two versions.

Silent Hunter II + Silent Hunter III (2 discs)

Silent Hunter III

The Encore version is Canadian but can be easily purchased from the USA or through Subsim.

Although these are new the main problem with the Encore version is that it will only install in the default program (x86) folder in the main drive C:


Second hand discs can be purchased from places like Ebay and also from Amazon through their third parties.

It is important when purchasing these discs that you get a Starforce Free Version.

The dvd you are looking for will be showing ESS632.

The Starforce Free Version will be Black at the Bottom and White at the Top.

A typical File Version showing in Properties is 8.2.160.0

Product Version 1.4.0000

Date modified 18/08/2006

Do not be misled by the silver band at the top of the Dvd case that says Games in white letters which is irrelevant.


The Starforce Version will be Black at the Bottom and Silver at the Top.

These have a Product Version showing in Properties of 1.00.0000

This version does not have the latest patch and has copy write protection.


Just ask the seller if the disc is White at the Top and if yes, you will be ok.


Oh, and yes, it is Windows 7 friendly.

Many thanks for your kind comments and advice. just to let you know, I have used the Subsim link and ordered the following items from Amazon:
1. Silent Hunter 111 (new) £14:99
2. IL2 Sturmovik-The Ultimate Edition (New) £6:49

Hope I can get them to load OK on Windows 7 ultimate x64, or I may be knocking on your door, for advice.

Best regards.
Graham
