Default Best mod for You boat Realistic

Hello,
I'm going to start a campaign, but first I'd like to know what you think are the best mods to play as realistically as possible. I played a lot on SH5 with The Wolves of Steel mod.
See you soon




29/10/2024 : My Mod list for the moment.

I've had a very good gaming experience so far.
I'm playing on 100% difficulty and I'm getting a very good feel for submarine simulations (like SH5 The Wolves of Steel).
If you have any other ideas for the list, please don't hesitate

Is there any mod that adds a u jagd to the game? The current speed tool seems way too convenient for my liking. Was it even historical?

Default Worth it?

I do assume that more or less that list would put the game into wolves of steel level. To be honest. I still reluuctant to take the plunge into this new concept. Dunno if really makes the bar for all of those comming from real nav, sober and wolves of steel mod package.

Really worth it?

Only you can answer that question.


I think it's great. But its still early, and this transformation to rivet-counter level of detail is yet to happen. Give it time. Probably best for you to wait a while if this is your requirement. All in time. In some ways, UBOAT has already surpassed Silent Hunter , and certainly stock versions. For it to match the top supermods of SH in terms of fidelity it needs more time. I suspect it will get there.


But then, I don't need that to find it worthy already. I like it more than any Silent Hunter game, version or mod, but that's subjective, isn't it? It has a lot going for it, and brings things that SH never had, like boardings, inspections, friendly boats, proper awards system, food and provisions, Courts Martial, mine laying and more.



I think it's worth it, and let the game grow to where you want it rather than wait until it gets there. Up to you.

What level of fidelity is lacking Uboat with mods compared to SH with mods?

I think they are very similar in that aspect if you choose the correct options and mods. Some aspects have more fidelity in one sim than another but overall are on par. For example the TDC(s) and torpedo systems (also the echosounder) are way more high fidelity in uboat, to a level that rivals study sims

*btw A new person will take care of updating the Real navigation mod , so it won't take too long to be released

Navigation. Ships don't use zigging. Ship roster is pretty barren. More bases (St Nazaire, Bordeaux, Salamis, Penang). More U-Boat types. Just to name a few. There's scope for improvement, increasing fidelity, which just means faithfully reproducing something, in this case a U-Boat simulation.

Another area might be the tech research which the player can exploit to get way out in front. For example when I recently started a new career with the intention of doing the Norway campaign, I researched acoustics and had them in March 1940. Was in a VIIC/41 in December 1940. An option or two here to limit this for example can be good. I can use house rules, sure, but again if we are talking about historical fidelity, as most supermods strive for, a different tack here is needed.

Lots O' great mods in yer list. I def use some of those myself. In my opinion you are missing a couple of important ones.


Real Navigation
Realistic Hydrophone
Enhanced BDU Convoy reports
Deadly Skies

(If u do use Realistic Hydrophone, def consider Enhanced BDU convoy reports. It's moddable and with reduced hydrophone range you're gonna rely more on intelligence reports from BDU)


And I'd humbly suggest you consider tossing a cpl on yer list

"realistic" ammo Cap
Compass Navigation


Happy hunting!
