Returning Captain for SH V

Wijbrandus · 09-15-14, 02:26 PM

Hey all. I'm returning to the seas and looking for help.

I took a year or two off. I had a house fire that destroyed (among many things) my entire PC gaming room. So rather than try and track down and purchase new installer disks on Amazon and all that, over the weekend I bought the Silent Hunter mega-pack on Steam to replace my collection and start getting back into the war. Of course, since I never did buy SH5, that's where I had to start.

Of course, now that I've done that, I'm beginning to realize that not all is as it was, and I'm wondering where I should start in modding the game.

Does anyone have a starting mod to recommend? I'm not looking for anything that makes the game harder, but I'm really feeling a little lost. I wasted a crapload of torpedos just learning what the numbered circles meant, and I miss the old auto-TDC. Maybe a UI renovation too.

Also, is there really a reason why mods won't work on Steam? I'm seeing that on some forums, but I install mods on my other games no problem at all.

Anyway. I'm glad to be back. Looking forward to seeing the replies.
