Let`s Play Silent Hunter 5 realistically!

Shaefer · 09-30-13, 06:11 PM

Hey everyone!
I hope it`s ok to do a little shameless self-promotion here.

I am currently doing a let`s play of Silent Hunter 5 on realistic difficult settings. I have been searching for a let`s play on realistic setting, because I want to watch that, but found none. So then I desided to make my own.... And I wish that Stoianm will make one to, cause he got them skills

I`ve been dwelling on these forums for a long time, (with a different account

), and have enjoyed some of the greate mods that where pupular some years back.
My game is modded with Open Horizon II and some other mods as well. These are listed in episode nr two.
I have had Silent Hunter 5 since release, but never played it much. So no I am back into it and plan to make it to the end of the war.

I am no expert at the game, and are still learning, so any feedback and critisism are much appreciated.

If a let`s play on realsitic settings sounds interesting, head over to my channel and check it out.

Well, most of the videos by stoianm were recorded using the most updated realism mods available at that time.

The only way how to play this game is (on Win7):
Start>Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features

hit Uninstall

...and be done with it.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Even with all the considerable effort (and hat down to all modders who spent all the time on the game

) the game remains unplayable to me: multiple CTDs, annoying bugs, etc...

I have tried, many times, even spent quite a bit of time creating and releasing mods for it, but the game stays a big POS in my book.

The reason for playing games is, for me, enjoyment. Playing, or I should rather say "attempting to play" SH5, equals, in my book, in terms of enjoyment, to sticking rusty nails and needles under my fingernails. Painful and huge waste of time.

I'll pass... (For now, until there is, maybe in future, equivalent of GWX3 for it - SOLID and WORKING compilation of mods). R.I.P.

Not sure how that relates to this thread, but sorry you're having issues. If it's any consolations (probably not), I'm running Win7 with sobers megapack and it works pretty solid.

As for the OP, great videos, keep em coming!

A little question how do you get the U-jagd clock in your second vid?

Shaefer · 10-01-13, 09:45 AM

I`ll up the next episode tonight, so that will be on my cannel tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that it's me rather than the games. LOL
Just FYI I got SH3 working to some extent (so it is right now my only "submarine fix"

) but it still runs like crap and CTDs more often than I'd like...

My point about SH5 still stands: even with all the modders effort included (I contributed in small way too) it still remains, (less than) half baked cookie. I really don't have time and lack patience to sift through all the murk of MOD soup...

Lots of modders are working at cross purposes on that game. That's we will probably never see "GWX5". But I can still dream...

Just finished watching the second vid

I am looking forward to your next one and the attack on that Polish minesweeper (if the Luftwaffe does not get it first

)

@ Shaefer and Trevally

Something I don't get about your video: was the taskforce reporting mission completed as soon as you entered the assigned area? Shouldn't you have the taskforce in sight, and use the report convoy button for it to be accomplished?

Also, I hope that Trevally didn't put too much merchant traffic in Baltic Operations: I think that, in wait for the German-Russian attack, most of the Polish merchant fleet had already been secured in Allied ports when the war actually started.

I have found some mining racks in guns_radars_01.GR2 that we must fit on that ship for making more obvious that it is a minelayer
