These percentages do not apply if using The Wolves Of Steel mega mod.

Game Play Settings are selected from the Main Menu and then by selecting Options.

Game Play Option Levels:
Low > 2%
Medium > 38%
High > 77%
Realistic > 100%
Custom > % dependant on what is added or removed.

The default setting showing in Game Play Settings is always determined by the setting originally selected when a New Campaign is chosen.
Selections can be changed by either ticking, or un-ticking a box, this changes the default setting to become a Custom Game Play Setting.

Limited Batteries > Medium > High
When selected, the batteries that power your submarines electric engines are limited, this, in turn, limits the amount of time you can stay submerged before the batteries must be recharged.

Limited Compressed Air > High
When selected, your submarine uses an amount of compressed air to surface by blowing air in the ballast tanks.
If you exhaust your supply, you will have difficulties in bringing the submarine to the surface.
Compressed air is regenerated by your compressor when the submarine is running on the surface, so it is vital to keep that piece of equipment in good condition.

Limited O2 > Medium > High
When the submarine is submerged, the crew uses oxygen and generates CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Over time, the air will become un-breathable, affecting the performance of the crew and possibly even leading to their death.
When this option is selected, you must surface your submarine periodically to resupply your submarine with fresh air.

Limited Fuel > High > Realistic
When selected, your submarine has limited fuel, and therefore limited range.
You must return to base before your fuel supply is exhausted.
There are no refuelling submarines in the (stock) game.
You will get a warning during the patrol when you have used 50% of your fuel.

Realistic Repair Time > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, damage repairs will take longer.

Manual Targeting System > High > Realistic
When selected, you must enter the appropriate information in to the TDC when firing torpedoes. You cannot simply point the TBT or periscope at a target and fire.

No Map Contact Update > Realistic
When selected, hydrophone and visual contacts will not appear on the navigation map.
Radio contacts, however will periodically appear on the map.

No Deck Gun Projectile Path > High > Realistic
The yellow line from the deck gun to the target is no longer shown.

Realistic Sensors > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, the effectiveness of your hydrophone and radar is reduced.

Dud Torpedoes > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, your torpedoes will periodically malfunction.
Malfunctioning torpedoes will either detonate too early, or not detonate at all.

Realistic Reload > High > Realistic
When selected, it will take a considerable amount of time to reload the torpedo tubes.

No Event Camera > Low > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, the event camera is disabled.
You will not see your torpedo tracking to the target or when the target sinks beneath the waves.

No External View > Realistic
When selected, the external camera is disabled.

No Stabilize View > Realistic
When selected, your targeting optics (i.e the TBT and attack periscope) will be realistically affected by the submarines movement on the waves.
This will make targeting more difficult in rough seas.

No Ship Damage Meters > High > Realistic
No explanation available.

A much easier way to tell apart the VIIA and VIIB (especially as the game makes it hard to see any detail of the schematics in the sub info screen and if you have external cam disabled) is that the VIIB holds 14 total torpedoes (2 in external reserve), while the VIIA only holds 11. (and has no external reserve)

Hi guys. I have noticed that there is now a patch 6 for twos mod. My question is; do I simply remove patch 1 from the mod enabler and then enable patch 6?
Thanks.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi mm

Patch 6 was faulty and has been replaced by patch 7.
Go to page 1 where you will find the download available.
Can be installed at anytime.
Just remove the existing patch.

Hi,

just want to say a big thank you to THEBERBSTER for collecting and providing all this very useful information.
Without it I would have been lost. So, I spent the whole evening reading and downloading and finally getting closer to actually play SH5
I might come back to you if anything goes wrong but for now just THX!

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi KG
Good to know you found some useful material.

Highly recommended if you are not already using it.
