Zero's, Zero's & More Zero's

Is it me or are there a ridiculous amount of aircraft in this game?

They seem to fly in any weather! Same planes going back & forth. All they accomplish is knocking out the time compression.

Is there anyway to adjust, mod or limit the amount of planes?

I'm not sure what mods you have or not. The stock aircraft are very prolific. I run TMO/RSRDC with NMMO and the aircraft are less frequent, but also quite deadly if you decided to go all OK Corral with them.

ok, two things, one use my reduced aircraft mod and it helps a lot.

second, even with my mod there are two airplane "highways" that stay filled with constant aircraft going back and forth and these are easy to see if you open the map and draw a straight line from pearl to Tokyo and from Tokyo to Formosa. these two lines are to be avoided so go off to one side or the other of these lines and you will only see 10% of the aircraft you see now.

that said if you are sighted and reported the game will often, but not always, send aircraft your reported location at times so that cant be avoided but its usually just a plane or two and if they don't spot you they move on.

O yeah, I remember that, one of the most useful mods for SH4...

Any chance to see something similar for SH5/OHII ?

Agree with YonMaruIchi. If you can sail around fearlessly, on the surface, all day, every day, the game isn't very realistic.

I think you all need to read actual patrol reports. The Tunny was constantly heading for deep water due to aircraft patrols. Wanna know the truth ... just read them.

I never got into sh5, I have the game around here somewhere and played it for about a month but just never got into it, it left my computer a long time ago after a reformat and was never reinstalled.

never say never but I don't think I will be playing it much or modding that game.

I cant even find the time or energy to do an updated version of GFO (lord knows it badly needs updating) so don't expect to see any sh5 mods from me.

Webster's Better Air Patrols for v1.4 and v1.5
Read the README inside the Mod for info.

Only one thing to add, be very careful when you come across one of 'em, run like hell cause they can really hurt you.

I do not use any mods yet. Should I and where do I get them

If you are using the Steam version I'd get the CD instead which will give you SH 1.0 then get the SH 1.5 add on. That fixes the early game issues. The Steam version is 1.3, I believe, and has problems still.

After that go here to the download section. First you'll need the JSGME program(free) to enable the mods.

I recommend TMO 2.5 with it's patch, then RSRDC for TMO which is 5.02 along with the 5.xpatch for it. Your mileage may vary. There are many mods just make sure you get those that are compatible with each other. The Berbster has a thread off a massive amount of helpful tips, tricks, etc.

For an easier enemy AI you can also use the TMO with training wheels. All of the above are in the download section here.

I do not recommend TMO because it's too hard and modifies too much stuff.
Try something else instead as a new guy.
I'm using Webster's GFO.

Yeah, I've been on a couple patrols myself and noticed the same thing.
