Back to SH4

bybyx · 02-17-14, 05:35 AM

Hello everyone!

I haven't played any silent hunter game in a very long time

and now i am back. To many stupid games out there and you always end up going back to the classics. I was thinking it would be a a nice change of pace going from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Total War series to a subsim. I must confess that watching Run Silent Run Deep again, made me nostalgic for some subsim action. I would like to start with SH4 and TMO as i never finished the US campaign. Please recommend a list of compatible mods for the year 2014. The longer the better.
Thanks!

So, you have SH4 v.1.5 that includes U-Boats plus more improvements to the US boats from ver 1.4.

If you haven't done so and you have a fairly modern computer with lots of memory, even a Win 7 64 bit with 4 gigs of memory or more, I recommend installing Large Address Aware to allow sh4.exe to access more memory:
Here is a nice explanation:

You say you want TMO, so TMO 2.5 is what you should look for.
There is a mall patch that goes on top of TMO 2.5 called:
1_TMO_25_small_patch.rar
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3506

Don't forget Real Fleet Boat, you seem interested in TMO though.

Lot of people like the RSRD campaign....

Also, for variety, instead of RSRD, there is a wonderful and well researched off-site campaign called the "Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod" - all historically accurate missions that took place in real life:

You'll probably get more mod ideas from others.
Any Vickers Interior is nice..........

If you wanted multiple installs with different mods on each, Multi-SH4 is the solution and has instructions.

Happy Hunting!

I agree with Aanker, you should go with T.M.O. 2.5 &RSRDC. I would also suggest O.T.C 1.5 to go along with those 2 Mods

Thanks for the info,
I think i should ask some questions in TMO section as i plan to go with it. RFB it appear has not been updated like TMO has. Perhaps these 2 mod should be merged into one, you know concentrating the best.

RFB and TMO are incompatible with each other. They are both base mega mods. Many of the same files have been changed and they will interfere with the operation of each.

I know, i know

but i was thinking that someone should unify what is best from those 2 mods into 1.
