Why did ubisoft change every thing. Why did they not use the same keyboard keys like SH3 and 4. Downloaded it and got rid of it 3 times. Half or more of the kry board keys will not work,[right left rudder' rudder amid. Periscope depth, Can't dive, crew on deckno way to get them down. Did I get A bum version. Hell can't even bring up the compass.

Most of those things have been fixed by mods and you can have the keys any way you want them. A lot of people are enjoying the game now, and new things are being done all the time. Reading the forums here should have told you that.

My question is, why are only asking this a year-and-a-half after the game was released?

Takeda Shingen · 10-10-11, 05:37 PM

Indeed. The vanilla game's shortcomings are well-documented and mods now available circumvent many of those issues. You are, as Steve said, about 18 months late on the consumer anger.

I just started playing again and actually forgot you could do a lot of things via keyboard, but with TWD's UI I haven't needed to.

lilpyrro · 10-10-11, 06:13 PM

Been Playing SH 3 and 4 so long, I just Bought SH5 a couple of months ago. So what Mods do I need to download. Bear with me, I'm 63 years old and A ex sub Sailor.

kylania · 10-10-11, 06:27 PM

These are what I'm using right now, but I'm not 100% sure I have all the "must haves" or that they are in the proper order yet. Just about to start a new campaign like this though.

lilpyrro · 10-10-11, 06:35 PM

But where do you go to download them?

kylania · 10-10-11, 06:54 PM

Most everyone will have a thread in the:

SH5 Mod Workshop

Each thread will include a description of the mod, instructions for how to install them and a download link.

You'll need to get JSGME in order to install mods. Here's a thread about how to use it to install the mods. The download link is included in that post as well.

That does buy some slack, at least with me. I'm 61 myself. Destroyers, not subs.

Check my sig for a mod list with most of the good stuff.

TDW's New UIs with TDC is the mod you want to change the control style back to SH3/4, also has configurable keys. Pretty sure there's a standalone keymap mod too.

Tonites dinner conversation with my mom's friend who is in her 60s.
