Legion's Noob Guide

That is a great introduction to the game and suppliments Neal's TDC video. This is very helpful for anyone looking at SH4 for the first time, even veteran players of SH3 and sims. I liked it a lot.

Oh, this is great. Thanks for putting this together. Well done.

Great video for a noob like me. It was good to see how the plotting chart was used to set up the attack. I'm getting pretty good with manual targetting but the map plotting was a bit of a mystery to me - until now!

A couple of questions if I may?

1. Presumably for the ship contact to show on the map you have to have that option enabled in the difficulty settings? (I'm a full real (hard?) setting fan but I may have to drop the settings down a bit to get these plots as this appears a little more realistic ie having someone doing the plotting for you)

2. How do you get the large protractor around your sub giving angles and ranges?

3. Some of the sounds were different than my game - are you using a sound mod?

Thanks again,

WB.

This is the mod list that I am currently using, note that all of these were obtained right here at subsim.com in either the download page or in the Mod channel of the forums. All are stackable and can be applied in any order except for the stealthy sub and ultimate sound pack. Ultimate needs to be installed first followed by the latter.

wonderful video. Very clear and informative. The map plotting shouldnt be a problem for new players anymore.

Would love to see you do a TDC video like this in the future. Neal has done an impressive job, but not as "instructional" as your contribution. (also at night so it could be more clear imho)

Having watched that video i still havent grasped setting up manually (wich i'd love to learn someday, especially with the brilliant graphics sh4 has).

I really hate searching for mods here. A lot of the mods are really hard to find. Here are the ones I found:

Torps +25%

The bearing tool does not work for me. The loading bar never progresses if this mod is enabled.


The other mods you listed just seem to be "fluf". YMMV.

Very good video. I think it's great for those who's first subsim is SH4.
