Must have mods list.

[ironkross]

I see your point RDP, however I think I'm feeling more like jbt308. As it is now, if you have one of the big mods installed and want to add a mod you have to ask how will X mod work with y and z mods. I wish there was something like an Excel program maybe, where you could type in your mods and it would tell you where overwrites and incompatabilties would occur. Also like jbt308 I can only try to express my gratitude for the work the modders put into this game. I had left the game only to come back after reading the TM stickie and wanting to try it. So please don't take this as grumbling. I know the modders are probably just or more frustrated with all the questions.
Thanks

Yeah, that part can be a bit confusing, it does get a little easier the more you frig with things ( the learning process ), but for somebody new it must seem like a jungle out there

a jungle and a half aye it does.

see this is where supermods worked in SH3 you just ran it and went "ooooh" but initially the mods trickle in and you have to build em. some of the stuff i've seen so far has been truelly amazing i've got to say and they only make a decent game better! i guess its just balence.

got to say tho even as stock i'm finding i rather enjoy sh4. i don't know what boat is capable of what yet. and damn but these yank boats dive slow yet they surface like posiden himself is chasing them..

i love that i can blow the depth charges off a destroyer and kill it by doing so (i have just detonated about two tonnes of explosives on their deck) i love HOLES! i shoot it with a deck gun, it gets divine! holier then the holiest of cheeses!

can't wait for the u-boat addon. that will be a sight to see, meantime i think i'll make it prettier.

Don't let Ducimus hear you say that.:rotfl:
Seriously the stock vers. is a looong way from the modded game. As for the jungle, I think where the jungle gets thickest is when you decide to use a mod but then have to scan thru X number of pages in the Mod's thread just to find out what is compatible/incompatible. TM has over 50 pages in it's thread and RFB over 60.

Checking out the read-me for each does help a bit with this, the reality is that you have to put some time ( with some trial and error ) in to customize your game to how you want it. I went through this with SH3 and now with SH4 and have learned alot in the process.

At least with JSGME you can quickly uninstall\reinstall if there are any conflicts, etc.

okay, here's one, name me a mod ANY mod that reduces the amount of airpower the japs have up around the place. i can't go an hour without getting attacked by another stray plane during the day, its like being in the bay of biscay during black may...

Edit: The parab Mod:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ighlight=parab
On the second page in that thread there is another mod by CaptainKabouk.

Also, the RFB Mod reduced air strikes somewhat.
