I had the same problem.

Un-install SH4, then re-install it. Download the latest patch and install that, then install the Ohio-class SSBN using JSGME.

@tomagabriel

sub interior:

when ohio gets a hole made by gun blasts, it does show the sub's interior as empty shell. probably something to look into... to give a sense of some compartment(s ) flooded.

foam:

my PC rig doesn't have any issues (well till now) regarding crunching high quality graphs of any game currently on the market, but I might be the expection...

what I would suggest is perhaps to use the same foam effects that SH4 BBs use... the foam graph on US SH4 BBs could expand sideways and probably give the same visual effect of large foam waves caused by sub's water displacment. It probably needs to be 1.5 or 2 times the size of the BBs since water displacement of nuke subs is greater than surface boats.

ok nothing great as a foam visual graph but probably more acceptable for low/medium spec PC rigs. I can't remeber of a specific BB nor currently have a picture of it but let me try a couple and I'll add the picture as example.

damage:

It is a bit hard to get some equipment damage, my ohio has been hit by countless depth charges while at periscope depth and no internal/hull damage. Only when I surfaced right in the middle of two BBs got a few blasts on each side and "voila" 14% hull damage and several holes on each side

Cheers

Is there a way to make the Ohio-class SSBN and/or Los Angeles-class SSN go deeper?

Also, is there a way to make deeper depths more brighter, by adjusting the light to depth ratio or something?

For instance, 500 feet underwater in Dangerous Waters is pretty bright, but 500 feet underwater is nearly pitch black in Silent Hunter 4.

Since Cold War-era and modern submarines can go hundreds and hundreds of feet under the surface, it would be necessary to adjust the darkness settings of the water in SH4.

I do that what you say Kaye. That dosen't work ,Ohio still dosen't have a Tower.

It worked for me.

If nothing works, try contacting the creator of the mod for more assistance.

@thyro

I did not model the internal ship damage. It is not difficult to do it, I just didn't have time

Also I did not change damage of sub-systems and stuff. I'll do it in the future. Edit: they are the ones you find in the 688i mod - unchanged.

@Zuber321

Ok, here are listed the steps to install the mod. Please check them and say if you followed them exactly:

0)Before installing Silent Hunter IV be sure to delete/uninstall any previous installation (after unintallation check if the previous folder still exists and if so, delete it manually).
1)Install Silent Hunter 4.
2)Install Uboot Missions, thus bringing your installation to v. 1.5
3)Download JSGME and put the JSGME.exe in the folder where you have sh4.exe.
4)Execute JSGME.exe. A window will appear. Close it.
5)When you executed JSGME.exe, a folder caller "MODS" apeeared under your "Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific" folder.
6)After you download the Ohio SSBN mod, extract the OhioSSBN mod folder into the previously created MODS folder. Now you should have the OhioSSBN folder like below

<Your Silet Hunter IV install folder>
....|
....|
....|->MODS
...........|
...........|
...........|->OhioSSBN
7)Run again JSGME.exe in the sh4.exe folder. It will again open a window. Select the OhioSSBN mod and activate it.
8)Run sh4.exe.

I hope it works.
