On the second page in that thread there is another mod by CaptainKabouk.

Also, the RFB Mod reduced air strikes somewhat.

Plus reading the posts on Subsim everyday.

I believe I read/heard that the guy doing SH3 Commander isn't going to do one for SH4 as of now. I believe it would require a good bit of reprogramming, I could be wrong.

As for mods, although it's a daunting task, especially going through all the posts, which a lot of us just don't have the time to do, there are some basics as I see it.

This is what I do:
Trigger Maru as a base
NSM on top of that
LBO on top of that
ROW on top of that
FooBor/FooFighter's Hi-rez boats
Tater's Imrpoved Campaign Layer

Those, for me, are really the basics that make the game enjoyable. I've not played stock + 1.3, but I played stock the day it came out and I thought it was crap.

There are a few extra's I run:

Sober's Better Mountains
Muzzle Flash
R&L Interior Scopes
2RTR US Periscope
Silent Service Graphics
Giep
Groton Naval Academy

Those basically round out the game, make it more immersive and are just plain cool

As for the psychology of the mods, man, how far did all of us go with modding in SH3 till we arrived at GWX. I used to have a massive list of mods, now it's just a bit over a handfull. It's really a shame though, there are so many good points about SH4, technical points, but I just don't have the same enjoyment as I did with SH3. SH3 seemed more like an adventure almost, always anxious or on the edge somehow.

At some point in time I think you wil see a version of this come out, you are right it requires a lot of front-end work plus support once it is completed, just ask JScones ( he did SH3 Commander).

Where can I find Fubar's hi-res skins for SHIV ?

See what all these mods do to me!?! Can't even keep people's names straight anymore.

Sorry for the mistype there, meant to say FooBor/FooFighter's skins.

I totally agree, stock SH4 i don't get that tense nervousness i got in sh3. i mean creaping up on a convoy i get a bit worries but i'm not practically sat at my pc holding my breath like in 3. then trying my damndest to get out of the area when the DD's come banging away with their sonar.
perhaps its the warm sunny waters? i think the atlantic has me in her cold grip!
