SHIV is getting boring.

Wondered about this, & why have never bought SH4 while being a big fan of SH2 & SH3. Since Imperial Japan did not have either reliable radar or sonar being on a US submarine was a pretty safe place to be during WWII as compared to their German Uboat counterparts whom faced near certain death. What is there to do but drive up to a Japanese merchant convoy, unload your torpedoes from an amazing ten tubes, & leave running silent & deep.
Though lately have been getting into Japanese culture, & thinking of offering them statehood so I may get this sim anyway for experiencing its first hand historical account of the Japanese navy, & its merchant marines.

Try surviving a career starting in an S-Boat in Manila at the start of the war.

RFB and RSRDC or TMO with RSRDC. FOTRS is an interesting mod as well - bigger variety of targets and the escorts are very difficult to shake once they have you in their sights.

Manock,

Look, I got say that I got pretty bored with the stock SH4 for a long time. Had played a little bit, and since it does not have the same features of SHIII, I deleted it.

But, reading through the forums, I saw lots of people talking about TMO and how good it was. I decided to give it a chance and I got say that I'm not dissapointed at all.

TMO makes your stock game a totally different game. More features and better enemy AI. If you try just driving to a japanese convoy and unloading...you will have serious problems. Because of that, my interest on SH4 has picked up again so much, that I will pass SH5 and wait for, hopefully, another Silent Hunter with Fleet Boats in it.
