New Guy Needs Recommendations

[Sailor Steve]

Welcome aboard!

I'm an RFB/RSRDC fan myself. That said, every supermod that's been made for SH4 has much to recommend it. One thing you can do is use MultiSH4 to easily run several installations and try them all.

Oh, I also play u-boats with Operation Monsun.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and greetings, I appreciate the warm welcome. I think I will take your advice and try a couple out and see what I think of them. Also another question for you. I never got the U boat expansion pack since I didn't really have any interest in that theatre but now it seems I need patch 1.5 instead of the old 1.4 which I'm still running. Is there an way around this or do I have to suck it up and go purchase it?

By the way Red October I'm definitely a St. Louis fan, go redbirds!

welcome to the forums you will find this is a great place to get all the help and info you ever need.


its a MUST to have v1.5 since 98% of all the mods for the game depend on that version to work properly and since you don't have that you couldn't have tried my GFO mod and that would be the first mod I suggest you try so you see what a "fixed" game plays like

get v1.5, you will get a different feel from the v1.5 game and it will be noticeable so try that first then try my GFO mod to get used to how the new game runs, the ubm v1.5 ad-on will fix many "issues" with the game and my GFO mod fixes a whole lot more plus adds a few extras while maintaining the stock feel.

after you get used to it you should try TMO if you want more of a challenge and RSRDC is good but its going to pigeon hole the ships into certain areas so if you don't know where the shipping lanes are then its not easy to find ships but its easy enough to google that info. with rsrdc the ocean will seam empty and boring compared to playing stock unless you are in the right areas.

If you enjoy the game and want to take advantage of most of the newer mods, suck up and go buy it. However, there are versions of TMO and RSRD for 1.4.

Welcome aboard!

I use TMO an RSRD. A lot of people use Optical Targeting Correction (OTC) and really like it. There are a lot of smaller mods also that help you tweak your game.

Quit hogging the radio, put it on the PA, and share the game with the rest of us. Now get back to work cleaning the battery posts.

Thanks Again for the all the help. I will certainly look into the expansion pack but being a cheapskate (haha) I might just try to see if I can make it work as it is and see how that goes

They are opening April 8th in St. Louis I do believe....

It's time to pull out the Matt Holliday Jersey I got for Christmas. I'm going to go to a game later on in May. I love me some Cardinal Baseball.

If there are any Chicago Cubs fans out there, you need to follow a different team...

I would expect nothing less from a guy named "Red".

You know it pal.

And I was wrong about the Cards opening night. They open tonight. Either way, it's gonna be a good baseball season.

Look, it's understandable you got the dates wrong, you've been busy getting all the rations and supplies on the boat for your new assignment, not to mention all the administrative work involved.

Even though I'm an Atlanta Braves (NL) and Baltimore Orioles (AL) fan, I will have to say that the St. Louis Cardinals have a first class organization second to none and the most intelligent fans in baseball. They know their baseball.

I left on Patrol this morning. Where have you been? I even had a Ship's Party and all. I'm currently North of Okinawa.

Thank You! We're losing to Arizona on opening night atm.

Why I made myself a combo of TMO traffic with RSRD traffic and a lil of my own....
