Let`s Play Silent Hunter 5 realistically!

Shaefer · 09-30-13, 06:11 PM

Hey everyone!
I hope it`s ok to do a little shameless self-promotion here.

I am currently doing a let`s play of Silent Hunter 5 on realistic difficult settings. I have been searching for a let`s play on realistic setting, because I want to watch that, but found none. So then I desided to make my own.... And I wish that Stoianm will make one to, cause he got them skills

I`ve been dwelling on these forums for a long time, (with a different account

), and have enjoyed some of the greate mods that where pupular some years back.
My game is modded with Open Horizon II and some other mods as well. These are listed in episode nr two.
I have had Silent Hunter 5 since release, but never played it much. So no I am back into it and plan to make it to the end of the war.

I am no expert at the game, and are still learning, so any feedback and critisism are much appreciated.

If a let`s play on realsitic settings sounds interesting, head over to my channel and check it out.

Well, most of the videos by stoianm were recorded using the most updated realism mods available at that time.

The only way how to play this game is (on Win7):
Start>Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features

hit Uninstall

...and be done with it.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Even with all the considerable effort (and hat down to all modders who spent all the time on the game

) the game remains unplayable to me: multiple CTDs, annoying bugs, etc...

I have tried, many times, even spent quite a bit of time creating and releasing mods for it, but the game stays a big POS in my book.

The reason for playing games is, for me, enjoyment. Playing, or I should rather say "attempting to play" SH5, equals, in my book, in terms of enjoyment, to sticking rusty nails and needles under my fingernails. Painful and huge waste of time.

I'll pass... (For now, until there is, maybe in future, equivalent of GWX3 for it - SOLID and WORKING compilation of mods). R.I.P.

Not sure how that relates to this thread, but sorry you're having issues. If it's any consolations (probably not), I'm running Win7 with sobers megapack and it works pretty solid.

As for the OP, great videos, keep em coming!

Hi Shaefer
Just enjoyed watching your first video on the big screen. It would be useful to know what mods you are using so I can relate to what I am watching and what is happening. I have never had the courage to go realistic so I will be on a learning curve. It looks like it could be a good tutorial into real navigation so I am looking forward to watching your second video. Keep up the good work and thanks for putting the time in so we can all enjoy your hard work.

Ya - its great - you gotta just love the tension that fog + scapa + DDs bring

Just a question on the No.5 video. How do I get the Decks Awash icon? I use the same TDW UI mod, but its not an option? Its either surface or periscope depth icon? Is it part of the .exe patcher? I think I turned that on when I altered things using that, like the hydrophone bug and a few others?
Thanks.

Thank you for watching.

The mods are listed in the description of episode 2.
If my let`s play can be a stepping stone for you to go all out realistic, and actually learn something by watching, that exceeds all expectation I had for this series

I urge You and Sparrs to take it all out, it is very rewarding when you succeed.

Will have to do it sometime, currently I am just learning to actually use the map tools with a greater effectiveness that I had been using before, and thats from your second video. Great stuff.
