I just got "Wolves of the Pacific" yesterday.
Two questions jump right out at me. 1) Would somebody direct me to a list of Patches and or other "add-ons" that I need. 2) As in SH3, you needed "renoun" in order to upgrade. Is that still in place in this game? 3) What boat do you start with. The SH3 manual told you that what boat you could start with. In starting a career, what boat will you start with? I'm sure I'll think of more questions, so please bear with me. God Bless Till all are one. |

1. Check the SH4 mods forum. There are 2 major supermods, both of which are mutually exclusive. Trigger Maru Overhauled (TMO) and real Fleet Boat (RFB). They are equally good but have different design philosophies, so they offer different things.
2. Yes, you need renown to purchase crew, upgrades and new torps. Similar to SH3. 3. Starting boat depends on the base you start in and the year. For example if you start in Manila in Dec 1941 you get an S-Boat. Pearl Harbour in 1843, maybe a Gato-class. In my current career I started in Brisbane in mid-1942 and got a Salmon class. |

Forgive me for being so "slow," but if understand this correctly, unlike SH3 where you needed to dl patch 1.4, here, if I decide to use for example Trigger Maru Overhauled (TMO), it will include to "patch" for it?
Thanks for the answer to question #2. And typically, I like to go the career way and like in SH3, pursue a career from the start of the war to the end. So if I understand you correctly, if I start in 1941, then depending on my coice of starting base, sub availibilty is dependant. Thanks for your patience. |

No, TMO & RF are just mods. You'll have to d/l the official patches separately.
The latest official patch you can d/l is 1.4. The only way to get 1.5 is to purchase the add-on "U-Boat missions" that adds the u-boats and upgrades the entire SH4 to 1.5. IMO even if you don't intend to play u-boats in the pacific it's well worth it. |
