Just ordered SH4 and a couple of questions..

Hi, i just ordered SH4 and was wondering how steep is the learning curve? Is it a very complex game? Reading all of your posts, I don't really understand a lot of what is said, but it sounds interesting, especially the different tactics. Also, I am interested in learning the manual targeting. Where can I find a good tutorial? Is it necessary to use a moboard with manual targeting?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Half the fun is getting there! Yes, a bit of a curve. But worth the effort. You set the difficulty and realism of the game yourself. It is fun to figure angle on the bow and all that, but you can jump right in and target merchants without doing that to practice other things. You will learn by playing it...If you screw up, you can always start over. Not like in real life where davy jones' locker was your reward for messing up.
