Lots of links are broken

Many links to file front are broken, so it is not possible to download many of the missions offered. Further, the Battle of Suriago Straights is impossible to survive shelling as soon as the game starts, and is a waste of time in my opinion. Also, the palau gauntlet has been crashing my game.

Someone should either clean up the posts that have bad links or take steps to fix the links.

Some missions were written a long time ago and in the meantime Filefront went down for quite a while and people moved files elsewhere. Also FF deletes files after a certain period of time if they are not active. You may also have run into a mission written with a different version of SH4 thus causing crashes.

I figured as much for both filefront and the old posts. I do not know if expired links can be deleted, but I have downloaded what I was able. If you want your butt kicked play the battle of suriago straights.

One problem with SH4 is a delay in displaying messages. I wrote a mission once from Pearl that was suppose to give you a message at the beginning telling you what to do. There was almost a 2 minute delay before the message showed. I think that is what is happening with the mission, you are getting too close to the enemy before the message to retreat is given.

Well, if any of you writes mission files and want them secured, you may keep them at Silent Hunter Mods Forum.
I do not delete files.

Suriago straights mission. As soon as the screen starts I crash dive and bring the crew to battle stations. 10 seconds later shells start exploding on and near the ship. That impacts and slows down dive time, which gives the Japs more firing time to sink my boat. I have not made it to periscope depth once without major damage and many casaulties. I have survived submerged for 45 minutes once, but by the time I surfaced all the fuel was used up. Then I was sunk by enemy fire.
