Reinstalled SH4, should I get RFB??

[fastfed]

As most here, I started with the orig. SH, then went all the way to SH5 and what a disappointment it was.. I got most (except part 1 and 2) on the release date, including part 4.. I was very much into GWX for part 3 at the time and put down SH4 almost right away, even before the new patch of 1.4.

That said, after part 5 for a few months and recently trying to enjoy it, I just couldn't, so I went back to what I know works, SH3 and GWX and all the nice mods..

well, recently I started reading "Silent Victory" and it makes me want to play the good guys again

I reinstalled part 4 just now and patched it with the new 1.4 patch..

Played for about 10 minutes and I am quite impressed.. I would like to add some mods and some major ones to start.. I was thinking the Real fleet boat mod??

I know where the download is, but there is not much info on it. I was wondering if you guys can help me with that or show me a link/site that explains it..

What about other mods? Any must haves ??

Thanks guys, I hope SH4 brings me the enjoyment that GWX has brought me..

with the new 1.4 patch..

I strongly recommend getting the U Boat Mission add on (UBM for short). The reason is, it has patch 1.5 bundled into it, and all the supermods have been progressing off of that version. Any version of any supermod that still works for version 1.4 is way behind the times.

As to if you should get RFB? Why not? It's free isn't it?

Get the U boat missions add on so you have patch 1.5, then try TMO and RFB, both are excellent mods.If you use RFB then RSRDC is a must because RFB uses stock traffic which , well sucks.

WOW! interesting.. Well, I am NOT interested AT all at playing the U-boats.. I have GWX for that, and really want to play just fleetboats..

Are you saying to still get the U-boat mod and then install the real fleet boat mod after? I am kinda confused here!

[fastfed]

Wow, I am really confused, I am looking at the download page and not finding anything called UBM..

Are there any instructions online some where? For example, install SH4, patch to 1.4, get XXX mod to get 1.5 patch? then install RFB, and then again, get the RFB patch for 1.5 ???

Confusing and I'm usually good at this stuff.

Yes. The u-boats add-on changes more than just adding u-boats, and all the mods now are based off of it (which is SH4 version 1.5 with the u-boats stuff).

RFB+RSRDC, or TMO (with or without RSRDC)

Either is good.

The UBM is an expansion for SH4 made by Ubi. You have to buy it in order to get the 1.5 patch as well, no way around that. Here's one place you can get the UBM from and it helps out Subsim. http://www.subsim.com/store.html

You can get SH4 Gold, which comes fully patched to 1.5, for $11 used throught Amazon. Then all you need to do is download whichever mods you want to use.

ARRGG... LOL you sold me... So just because it has the U-boat add on, doesn't mean I have to play that obviously.. I am strictly doing this for the pacific

[fastfed]

Whats the more popular mod for the pacific? TMO or RFB ??

Thanks
