Try TMO or RFB.
When you settle on one of those, play it for a while then add RSRDC.

What features, specifically?

Too numerous to make a list but once loaded you will wonder why you played stock all these months.

Are you familiar with JSGME (Jones Soft Generic Mod Enabler)? This is step one.

"Are you familiar with JSGME (Jones Soft Generic Mod Enabler)? This is step one. "

I've read various references to it over on the Silent Hunter forum.. I've not modded my SH4 version (1.4) at this point. I'm in the midst of playing through my first full campaign and wanted to first do it using the plain brown wrapper version.

Great idea! Once done PM me and I will set you up with the mod enabler and get you going with these mods. You will be amazed what these guys do for the SH series.

Yep, just do it, you won't regret it.

Once you load 1.5 and use TMO or RFB you'll see a whole new game...worth playing. I wouldn't waste any time playing stock when you can have wonderful graphics and a realistic game with 99% of the bugs gone.

Just remembered something that's not really worth it's own thread, so thought I would chuck it in here :P

I remember a while back seeing a very good video tutorial on intercepting radio contacts on the navigation map...probability corridors, manouevering into a good ambush position, that kind of thing.

Anyone know which video I mean? I've searched stickies and all sorts but it's not around it seems.

Really the thing I find hardest in the whole game, I think, is simply intercepting these juicy convoys that keep appearing as cryptic red squares before they reach their destinations.

Thanks!
