New Sub Captain

Hunter5 · 12-20-11, 04:58 PM

Just downloaded the game from steam. I've been playing Silent Hunter since the first one. I love SH3 the best, and I was very hesitant to buy this one until I read up on all the mods.

Nice to be part of this great community. I am downloading some mods now and could use some suggestions. Thanks.

Welcome to our crew my friend!

Mods are a tricky thing at first, be sure to pay attention to the thread posted above and ask if you need any help.

This is the best online community you are likely to see and I have never seen a more friendly group of crazy sub skippers online ever.

It is 6:30am and I am just now finishing up after playing SH5 for about 14 hours in a row! I love this game! I snuck into scapa flow and sunk a huge British Battleship. It took me hours to get in there but well worth it. The game runs perfectly smooth. Not a single CTD or other problem. Now I need to sleep! Thanks for the warm welcome!

I was up till 4am this morning too, played a straight 8hrs yesterday on one patrol, spent two occasions being hunted by destroyers about 100meters deep, sunk 5 ships (three on one convoy on its way to Gibraltar) and finally completed the Western Approaches mission. Now I trying to find what an AMC ship is up in the north...I believe they are in Scapa Flow? I dont know, but compared to SH4, is this too easy? Yes, my game is modded but sinking 25 merchant ships with manual TDC on (with only really using the identifying abilities of my XO), between Sept and Dec '39 and two warships seems a little tonnage crazy? I see there is a tally on the ubisoft rankings, with obscene amounts of tonnage - I liked the realistic aspect of SH4 with TMO and RSRD, where I was usually in league with the top American Fleet Boat Aces, nothing too unreal. I think this takes the realism aspect down a notch, plus having to finish Western Approaches in the 100k club...well..dunno. I am using DarkWraiths UI mod, IRAI, Dynamic Environment (light) etc. Not tried the Open Horizons Campaign; my theory was that I finish the stock campaign, then check out the modded version. Other than that, good game, better than SH3, but I still leave it open whether a modded SH4 maybe has an more realistic edge over SH5. K.

I still play the first one from time to time, as well as Aces Of The Deep.
