SimHQ's "Best Naval Mod of the Year" is Trigger Maru

[Rockin Robbins]

I think TMO was the premier mod all year until about December. Now, with RFB gathering momentum, it will be very interesting for 2009. If RFB, naw, WHEN RFB (the fixes are being tested and compiled now) fixes its periscope locking situation it will be time to rumble toe to toe for the rest of the year. But I agree with their finding, that TMO is the top mod of 2008, not just for Silent Hunter 4, but for all naval simulations. Congratulations, Ducimus! You earned it the old fashioned way: outworking everybody else, including teams, all by yourself.

And it should, because the authors of the two mods work together, not in cutthroat competition, but in cooperation with the only aim to improve the game for all of you players. They get opinionated and sometimes brash, but you have to admit that they share their talents, methods and tools with the whole community for the benefit of all.

It's a shame that Ducimus is not here to enjoy it.
