Advice for a New Player Starting in Silent Hunter 5

12-10-24, 06:32 AM

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the Silent Hunter series and recently started playing Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic. I’m absolutely fascinated by the gameplay and attention to detail, but I’m finding some aspects of the game a bit overwhelming.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate advice from experienced players:

What are the best tips for managing the crew and maintaining morale during long missions?
Are there any must-have mods for improving gameplay or fixing bugs? I’ve heard about the Wolves of Steel mod but haven’t tried it yet.
How do you approach patrolling effectively while conserving fuel and supplies?
I want to dive deeper into the game and get the most out of the experience, so any general tips or resources you’d recommend would be great too.

Thanks in advance for your help! I’m looking forward to learning from this community.

Cheers,
