I made the front page !!!

Did you empty the Save folder prior to playing the game modded with FotRSU? That folder defaults to "C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4", but might be elsewhere if you used the MultiSH4 app to change it. --- First I did a Remove and than a re-install of Silent Hunter 4 on Steam to my Steam library on the D: drive. Then I copied the whole thing to a new folder in the Steam library and name it SH4FRS. I have JSGME and Multish4 in that folder too. In the new folder I deleted everything in the MODS folder and ran JSGME and removed all active mods. The 100_FOTRSU v1.8 was downloaded from Subsim and extracted with 7-zip and placed in MODS. MultiSH4 was run to create a new Saves folder called FRS. LAA was also run on Sh4.exe . After that I ran the new modded game for the first time. JSGME will not (cannot) replace files that already exist, so if you still have the "Stock" game's AirStrike.cfg file, then you will get more contacts, and from further away than with a "clean" FotRSU. Not sure I am following this, where is airstrike.cfg? Wouldn't this get replaced during mod activation? Stay down for roughly 6-10 minutes if you're adventurous, and come up to radar depth - use the periscope at Perscope Depth though, and go back down if a plane is sighted. --- Can planes be seen from the Periscope? I can barely see them from the bridge. Also I have learned the hard way, trying to shoot down the planes with at most a twin-20 gun is almost useless. First to find the planes. Then to center on one and lead it properly. Require more coordination than I possess. Pat |

pull the cotter pins and stow the flak guns. the first contact is the key. or should i say: avoiding the first contact is the key. if you post your JSGME config, i can build you an aircraft mod that will shorten the parade. However, you have to promise not to go trying shoot down any more patrolling aircraft.

JSGME list of mods. Very short. I have Nihon Kaigun and Nippon Maru downloaded and extracted but did not activate yet. Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157 [D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SH4FRS\MODS] 100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8 Pat |

download this file: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/cfo....8+for+pmcmull unzip it into your FOTRSU 1.8 MODS folder and then activate it with JSGME. it must be activated after Ver1.8. it can go before or after the Maru mods. have fun. p.s. don't tell PB that i sent you a mod for his mod. he doesn't like that kind of thing.

also remember planes can see a sub under the water to about 150 feet but honest dive soon as you can if caught on surface hit flank and then turn when they start to attack

I have been leveling off at 100 ft or so, thinking that was deep enough. Probably deep enough to avoid bomb damage, but if spotted they bring their buddies to keep attacking. I can go to 150 ft.

Your custom documents have been very helpful. Now I have a next topic of "hull damage" but I think I will start a new thread. Pat |

It's worth noting that this is exactly what US subs in the Pacific did. The Japanese had so many island bases and seaplane tenders and escort carriers, aircraft were a constant danger. I usually play Asiatic Fleet campaigns, and there was a standing order until the fleet dissolved that subs should submerge during daylight if they were within 500nm or so of a Japanese air base. Like KaleunMarco says, the key is to not be detected at all. If I'm north of Bali and west of Wake, I'll do the whole submerge-in-the-daytime drill every day. Yes, it slows down your travel, but it feels right, and it definitely helps with the aircraft detection issue. |
