What is the now general consinsos on SH4?

Dutch · 10-27-07, 11:43 PM

After the long wait, and hearing bad things about SH4 what now is the verdict with it. Have mods been implemented in a great way? Is it REALLY worth the money? Has the AI made leaps and bounds? Or is it still broken?

MONOLITH · 10-27-07, 11:54 PM

Patches and mods and add-ons.

It's brilliant. Time to catch up with the future.

Can't go back to SHIII now. It has been turned into one great game.

Theres been alot of work done to the game,graphics and otherwise, you decide. Here are a few prebeta/post alpha screen shots for ROW, Reflections on Water. Enjoy. (Shrunk to fit)

Patched to 1.3 (with 1.4 imminent) and modded to taste, SH4 is now a very good game and getting better week by week. The expansion pack that's coming at the end of November will only further enhance the game.

Consinsos be damned! I'm having too good a time for that.

ROW camera is incredible! Hunting with cuties is poker on steroids! Merchies zig and zag like they've been bar hopping all night, no more lazy setups. Ships don't go down in 30 seconds but there's pyrotechnics enough. Just plugged a subchaser from 3,700 yards with a single shot and it flew a hundred feet in the air, split in two and the two halves sank individually! Missed the screenshot too because I was so surprised.

But amidst all the death and destruction there is beauty.

Ain't she beautiful with the sun glistening off her copper colored hull, the rudder askew, the water boiling in anticipation of the sea's latest meal. Arrrrrr. Bein' a sub captain is sublime with Silent Hunter 4!

Nice picture Rockin Robbins!
Is that a stock SH4 ship on the picture or are you running a mod? - I meet the same merchant ships again and again...

TM 1.64, ROW latest and NSM 3.3, thank you very much. Is your visual upgrade part of ROW or can it be stacked on top?

I reorganized my pics and forgot it broke the links. So how about a bonus pic to try to make up for it? Your bridge cam rocks!

kriller2 · 10-28-07, 05:07 PM

It's part a part of ROW so no need to download it, it's a old mod which I forgot to remove from the signature-tag.

Cooter1966 · 10-28-07, 07:15 PM

Can't see Robins pictures, all I see is a white rectangle with red "x" in it. I've seen those before, but what does it mean? BTW Dutch, the game is worth the money, no doubt.

Love it with current patch and looking for the 1.4 patch any day soon. Looks like it could use a spell checker for topics though.

That's called character in these parts!

Fixed my broken link and entered a bonus pic in my previous posts.

Here's a Kuma CL lighting me up when I got careless. Look at those colors. Wow! He seems to have a fire going on inside that torpedo hole too! I submerged before he tagged me.

I have one of those set up in my forward torpedo room. Craps, poker, roulette. We only bet stateside dollars so if we don't make it back alive we don't owe anything.
