Moving from GWX to SH5

Bl00dCat · 12-15-12, 06:01 PM

Just bought SH5 and trying to figure which mods I need.
Gonna get TDW's .exe patcher, TDW's New UI and Trevally's Open Horizons II for start.
What I wanna know is if SH5 has damage model similar to GWX, e.g. allowing to sink ships by large internal flooding? All the sh5 screenshots are showing destroyed ships on fire, and I think a large fire after torpedo impact wasn't such a common thing. If 'internal flooding' is not organic to SH5, maybe there're some mods which can make that work?

Pardon my English, here in Russia we're more accustomed to drinking vodka from samovars and beating bears for kicks than speaking civilized languages.

If i remember correctly SH5 does not have flooding mechanism.
This mod should add that: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1607 (although i haven't tested it.)

Thanks IonicRipper, I definitely should try it.

Another question about those damn fireworks: are they purely decorative or somewhat real? If my hits has started a fire on enemy ship, can it eventually burn down and sink/blow without my further assistance? In GWX I was frustrated with tankers which, when literally set ablaze, could burn for hours but stay floating.

Think Critical Hits Torpedos does this as well. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163930

With OHII I see ships sink that aren't burning and do burn. They will also sink stern and aft first depending on where hit, or sit there level and go down. I've also seen escorts and merchants break in two from torpedo hits. But as said, I believe it's the Critical Hits mod that's makes all this happen.

You will like SH5 Bl00dCat with the mods that give better graphics and 'eye candy'..... enjoy.

Here's two screenshots.....

Since my GWX career save had mystically gone FUBAR (and just in the middle of 60.000 tons patrol!

) I'll try SH5 right now. Either I'll like and move to it, or I'll grudgingly start GWX career anew.

Sorry to hear about your save, but as for SH5, enjoy and sink 'em all!

Damn, all this SH5 mod compatibility thing is friggin' hell!

So my config looks like this now:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[D:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

Accurate German Flags
Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (realistic version) V2.1
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2.2 Patch
SH5_7A_Conning_Fix
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
#Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix
Eqp_Upgrades_fix_v1.4 dates by sober Patch V2
FX_Update_0_0_19_ByTheDarkWraith
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Stock faces
MFCM 1.2.1 OPTIONAL crash_dive workaround
MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible
Reworked Morale and Abilities v.1.1
Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 Basemod
NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
Manos Scopes-patch for 8x5
IRAI_0_0_37_ByTheDarkWraith
OPEN HORIZONS II_full v2
OHII v2 Mission Fix WA
TDW_Mines_Subnets_Detectable_in_hydro (OH II v2)
OH II Minefield map for TDWs Ui
Trevally Tutorials - All v0.2 (for TDW UI)
Trevally TDC Help v2
Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v2.9

If anybody sees something strange in this list -- don't hesitate to mention it. I'm not even sure all of the above is actually working. Kickstarting TDW's 'NewUIs' was the biggest pain in the @ss so far.

And my rig isn't too powerful (Phenom X4 945, 5GB RAM, GeForce GTX 460 2GB), but I didn't expect SH5 to stutter THAT much with maxed settings...

UPD
And where did my tooltips go? Without new UI I could point, for example, a periscope while walking inside the boat, and a tolltip with description would pop up -- now it's gone.

UPD2
'tolltip'

Funny typo. But 'girlfiend' is still my favorite.
