How to install mods on sh4 from steam

[chopped50ford]

Is there a familiar 'bug' in this package of mods? or could it be the 'normal' setting I'm using. I am using this 'complete' mod per the directions.

I have been trying to torpedo ships (see picture below), and ALL of my torpedoes pass under the ships or pass through the ships w/out detonation.

I have had torpedoes go right through the middle of the hulls from straight on bow to stern and port to starboard.

I have tried both modes of contact detonation.

I have set their depths from 5' down to 11' depending on draft of ship.

I have had 3 battles/scenarios w/ no luck getting hits when there were obvious hits each time.

I approach using Dick O'Kanes method of attack each time w/ perfection.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Both ships I got 'hits' ...

Hi h
Not something I have had a problem with as such but I can understand the circumstances as to why it maybe happening.
The Americans had major problems with their torpedoes which took a while to sort out.
This will be replicated in your game to some extent but not to every torpedo.

Firing torpedoes at a destroyer the draft needs to be set very shallow otherwise they will past under the hull.
Having said all that your problem from what you are experiencing would seem to be more like a game one?

Questions.
Do you still get the same problem when you do the torpedo tutorial?
Are you using manual or auto targeting?
Is your game based on a "Career?
What path have you used to install your game?
Are you using L.A.A?
Does it make a difference if you un-tick "Dud Torpedoes" from the game player settings?

@theberbster

Thank you for the fast response.

This will be replicated in your game to some extent but not to every torpedo.

I have considered this knowing the history of issues we were having, but Im hitting a big zero on hits on 5 ships in a row; each torpedo passing through. With the depth I have set them at, they should be bouncing off the hulls; if this was the case, I would have nodded my head in defeat to torpedo duds

Firing torpedoes at a destroyer the draft needs to be set very shallow otherwise they will past under the hull.
Having said all that your problem from what you are experiencing would seem to be more like a game one?

This could be the case, I have been checking draft specifics for each ship I have been encountering. If the draft was at 11.5', I set them shallow at 5'


To answer some of your questions:

Questions.
Do you still get the same problem when you do the torpedo tutorial? - I will try this to see if there is a change.

Are you using manual or auto targeting? - I am using Auto Targeting

Is your game based on a "Career? - Yes - Im currently in 'Career Mode'

What path have you used to install your game? C:/Games/Steam/SH4...I pulled the game out of Windows (X64) folder per directions I saw in your recommendations

Are you using L.A.A? - I am not since I am not seeing any performance issues

Does it make a difference if you un-tick "Dud Torpedoes" from the game player settings? - I will try this....Im going to try the tutorial, and restart adding manual targeting, etc, etc.

is there a 64-bit LAA? the only copy i can find in the Downloads section is 32-bit. i am trying to help a beginner running Win10.
thanks.

Hi KM
L.A.A. will be only 32 bit regardless of your system.
All Silent Hunter versions are 32 bit which is why they always want to default to the Programs files (86) directory which is 32 bit where as the Program Files directory is where you will find your 64 bit programs.

If you play more than one version of Silent Hunter 4 then by using the SH4 Gramophone Randomiser application and a batch file shortcut to your your desktop or taskbar will mix your music and start the SH4 game you choose to play.
