S/H cheats

[BigWalleye]

There is a supermod for SH4 called Trigger Maru Overhauled, or TMO. It makes the Japanese ASW very tough. So, to make it easier for inexperienced players to learn, there is a version called TMOwTW - TMO with Training Wheels. I never heard anyone suggest that it was a cheat.

Good luck and Godspeed.

I really do appreciate this.
Thank you everybody

Not at all! I think, every member of Subsim is glad to help a newcomer, especially if this game is new for him.
And every captain picks his own difficulty level. As for me - I find it too difficult playing without contacts update on the map. But without manual targeting system it's too boring for me, because it becomes that I don't have much to do in game.

What is any game for? For having fun! So decide, what difficulty allows you to have the most fun, and play accordingly! If it'll start to get too easy - change it, download some mods etc.

And feel free to ask any questions about the game. Believe me, you'll have plenty of them!

Have a nice play! Have fun!

As Azgrim pointed out - the "cheats" you're looking for are in the gameplay options menu. All that's left is to add my welcome to the others - Good hunting

Ummmmmmm hi. Some of us with a lot of experience with the game get frustrated sometimes. And we find ourselves stuck a little with no apparent way out of a tough circumstance.

Reloading and dying four times gets old. And I came up with some remedies for that.

For starters you can load up my Slightly Subnuclear Deck Gun mod. Well the shells are what you'd expect but there is a hidden bonus. Pop a few 40mm shells into a DD and let me know what happens. Heh, heh, heh.......

But if you think you might not live long enough to surface there's always my Slightly Subnuclear Mark 14 and Cutie mod. One torpedo will skeletonize an aircraft carrier really well and I guarantee an end to your frustration.

Here's a single hit from an armor piercing shell on an aircraft carrier. Hold your ears....


Interesting things have been known to happen to a destroyer when tagged by a Slightly Subnuclear Mark 14......

"Hi all,
I have S/H 4 and while still getting use to it I would like to know if there are any cheats,such as unlimited torpedos and unlimited deck gun ammo."


PS. sorry if i was a bit arogant but in my opinion it's better to not play a game if u can't play without cheats...

Long ago I realized that "cheats", in the gaming world, is a code word for "making it easy". There are some puzzle games (Tomb Raider mainly) that I'm too stupid to do by myself. That doesn't mean I don't like them. When someone asks for Silent Hunter "cheats" I take it to mean he knows nothing about the game at all but wants to learn, and needs all the help he can get. I figure when he starts to understand what it's really all about he'll try it different ways.

I used to complain about cheating a lot, but it was always directed at the people who bragged about their insane tonnage scores. If you're not playing at 100% then you have nothing to brag about.

I have nothing to brag about. Externaly views? They had no such thing. If you use external views then technically you're cheating. Weapons Officer Assistance? Not entirely unrealistic except for the part where he's perfect. I use him anyway, because my math isn't up to those standards and trigonometry is beyond me. Unlimited torpedoes would be a great learning tool, so I'm all for it. I usually play at a fairly high difficulty level, and I make it a point to conduct my attacks in a historical manner, which keeps my scores fairly low, and I always reload my torpedoes deep underwater and never while under attack, since steep dive angle can play havock with a ton of metal riding on a chain hoist.

My point is that there are various levels of "cheating", and we all do it to a degree.

I agree. There is a big difference between using something so you can learn the game, and just using it to make it easy.

I don't use map-contacts in my career, but for learning the game, or testing out a mission/mod/whatever, it is very valuable.

Actually my mods were made for the specific purpose of making fun of a thread on the Ubi forums for a "100,000 ton club" Using the Slightly Subnuclear Deck Gun mod and Neon Deon's battleship submarine mod I proceeded to make a You Tube video of sinking 100,000 tons in just over 8 minutes. We didn't hear from their 100,000 ton club after that...

We moved onto the 200K ton club after that, then the 300K ton club.

Real men don't use nukes....In fact, anyone using a subnuclear deck gun is probably making up for something else.

I kind of got that impression from the mod title.

Just to add, there are TWO places for options, in the main menu and when you are in port, Sometimes you change options in the main menu and they are not reflected in your game play until you change them in port. Annoying.
