Legion's Noob Guide

WhiskeyBravo · 04-11-07, 06:28 AM

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.

d/l now. i'm sure it will assist me in my new adventures at sea. should put all tutorial vids in the same sticky folder.

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.

Mod List

360_Bearing_Plotter_Imperial
Brighter_Torpedo_Wakes
Captain_Midnights_CBS_Radio
jimimadrids_Shinyborder_hud
Kosh_Stealthy_Sub_v1.01
Navmap_mod_for_SH4_v1_1
ParaB_tweaked_air_strikes
SH4_UltimateSoundPack
SH4_Ultimate_Soundmod_Fix
Torpedo damage 1.5x

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).

Cheers Legion for that - we need more tutorials on the basics such as that. Really makes a difference to the New guys (such as myself). Awesome first torp - right in the BreadBasket as you said. Useful tip that, checking the draft and setting depth accordingly. Great Work

Should be a sticky for vid-tutorials

Fantastic video Legion! Kudos to you for helping out your fellow gamer.

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%

Air Strike
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ghlight=strike

Retro Nav Map
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ghlight=Navmap

Brighter Torps:

360 Bearing Tool:

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.
