SH 1.5 - patch or only expansion?

yes you need to get the 1.5 ad-on so the game becomes so much more without ever even thinking about uboats. i and 80% of those who bought it use it purely to make the game better and mostly play the US side exclusively and dont care about uboats.

the 1.5 u-boat ad-on is not really a patch and its not really a u-boat thing either, it does more as a tune up for the game engine rather than being important for having anything to do with uboats or german missions.

it doesn't even include any german missions with it lol, so if you want to play the german side you need to download one of the mods here that gives you a group of missions to play.

think of it more in terms of a needed change in the way the game accesses and uses files so that things in the game run faster better and smoother. the game loading times are cut in half and it has much more game interactivity and playability.
