First Time really trying out SH4
This is my first time at really giving SH4 a test run, I have been playing the Silent Hunter games since the first one came out. What mods work best to give the game a good feel? I beleave I am running SH4 patched with the 1.2 patch. I will be starting out with a new campaign with in the next day or two, and just want to test drive sh4 so to speak.
Any help would be great....

Install 1.3 patch. Run the game vanilla and you decided after some game time what mod would work for you. There are plenty available on the mod forums and some very nice mods in the works.

As for mods, while i don't recommend playing vanilla (as first impressions are everythign, and vanilla has some annoyances) i can't stand here and say, "download this mod pack", as much as i'd like to. But for starters, id get the following mods: Periscope fix by Anvart http://files.filefront.com/RnL+int+P.../fileinfo.html Realistic Sinking Physics by Wernersobe http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118005 Silent Service Graphics mod by Captain Cox (primarly just a mod that adds graphics to the games shell, but it really gives you a glimpse of real subs in the pacific) http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=110756 Somewhere out there is a realistic battery mod, as stock batts drain way too fast, and im pretty sure there has to be a dive times mod too. I can't be the only one who's ever changed this. In stock, boats take about 1min and 10 seconds to dive. Historically a 40 second dive time was the BARE minium, but a 35 second dive time is what was strived for, so the dive times are waaaaaaaay off in stock. |
