Back 'at sea'

Briney · 07-24-09, 06:28 PM

Just finished a very boring Shore-Duty assignment. Now...'underway is the only way'. Are there any 'add-on' or patches **other** than Patch 1.1/.2/.3/.4, and the ones on the Download part of SUBSIM ??

The U boat add-on(SH4 gold edition) is the latest and that patches you to V1.5.
All the new mods are for 1.5

The U Boat add-on can be downloaded at UBI for about 10 bucks.
I got the SH4 Gold Edition at Wallmart for about 25 dollars.
I think Best Buy also had the gold edition.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll just run MY game patched to 1.4. [paid too much for it in the first place]...

Aloha....

Welcome Briney

, I hope you have tons of fun playing the game.

While patching the game to 1.4 is a must, try not to jump to adding mods until you've found a good reason for it. Once you find a problem, you can search here and find answers (usually in the form of mods). Boring missions are not a good reason, as even with the toughest mods, like the unforgiving TMO you can search blindly for weeks without a single contact, or, worse, not manage to approach any ship without being spotted and blown out of the water like a tin can. I recommend finishing a carrer first in a good sub like the Sargo and then the Gato class, to get your bearings. While you do that, look around the Workshop to see what's been done so far http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=219.

I played 1.4 for a long time and had a lot of fun. I learned how to really play before I did any mods. That is a good way to go.
Once you feel like improving the game there is TMO and RSRD mods for 1.4 someplace, don't know were.

Have a good time and just ask if you need any help.

Good luck and good hunting

Thanks Fellows... Yes, I'll do what you suggest. I remember doing it like that, years ago, in SH3...

Wait, so you can only patch to 1.5 if you buy the u-boat add on?

lame

Or is 1.5 just 1.4 with the u-boats or are there changes to the oringal game itself?
