Hello everybody

Bethune · 01-22-10, 03:54 PM

Hello,

My real name is Mike and i'm from Belgium. I recently got the game silent hunter 4 and i got hooked. Never was a fan of the sim genre, until now.
I am not very good at it, but today i finished my first succesful war patrol so i'm getting there. I found this site looking for info about the game and decided to join up, since i'll probably spent a lot of hours playing the game

anyways, i'll leave this introduction with this. If you guys want know anything else just ask.

(ps:dont know if this is in the wrong forum section)

Welcome aboard, your're at the right place. The game is great and with all the mods the game improves 200%, just check some of the better graphics in the screenshot thread.

Need any help let us know.

Bethune · 01-22-10, 04:52 PM

Thanks for the welcome armistead

i'll check out those mods like you suggested. They look very interesting.

Welcome aboard, no doubt somebody will come by and advise you to "SINK 'EM ALL" or "BE MORE AGRESSIVE".

Until that happens I'll just say Hi.

Good Hunting

What that was all about is if your the 40,000 member to join the first member to catch it gets a free KOOL SubSim mug. I think you get one too.

Welcome !

Might I suggest before you start messing around with mods to play the game a while un modded?

Two reasons... First you can be assured you have a stable installation (no crashes) Secondly you can get a feel for what you might want to change.

But if your modding inclined and know how then by all means go ahead.

Whatever you do have fun !

Bethune · 01-23-10, 10:46 AM

That is a good suggestion steamwake and i am currently playing the unmodded version. I'll gues i'll try out my first mod in a few weeks when i'm getting the hang of it, and know what i want.

Armistead · 01-23-10, 10:56 AM

I say go for it, why eat a hotdog when you can have steak...Just pretend your playing it out of the box the way it should've been and learn it that way from the beginning. That way you don't develop bad habits.

Course a few days playing stock doe's add to the wow factor of mods, so you know what you're getting.
