Advice...

Ok boys,

Now the list of available mods is enormous and I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but I can't find it in a sticky...

I loved SH3 and SH4, but sh5 is like pulling teeth.

So what I'd like is a list of mods that you guys thinks give the best experience you can with SH5. I'd like to use the TDC if I want too, I'd also like to be able to set the WO to do it.

Before in SH4 I would use auto targeting, and merely set the depth of the torpedo and let the comp work out the angle on bow, target speed etc. But now it seems I must use the full tdc if I want to access the recognition manual?

So which mods would bring me closest to a more traditional silent hunter experience?

Also I have a reasonable gc card, Radeon HD 5770 1 gb, but the graphics 'stutter' and walking about is very slow, should I just drop the resolution or will some of the graphics mods help this out?

Also while I love being able to run into any port I feel like and sinking the ship, I really think the destroyers should come looking for me, and not simply start toward me and then stop and never move again as I go about slowly sinking each of them! At the same time I do NOT want an AI mod that makes them as difficult to evade as they were in real life!

Anyway any advice would be awesome, I'm sure with a few mods I should back to enjoying Silent hunter... Or maybe I should break out the old SH4 u-boat missions...

Just a couple then... gosh....

Is the order they are applied in the JGSME still important?

Thanks though...

THE_MASK · 07-20-11, 08:13 AM

order is important , just look at the must have ones .

I've just picked up 5 after a good while playing SH4 and I have the same video card as you (with the same stutter problem).

I got rid of most of the stutter by dropping 'particles' in the gfx options down to the lowest setting, then applying the antilag DX9 fix:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2871

Drop it into the game folder and follow the instructions in the readme.

Can't offer you much advice with mods as I seem to still be getting CTDs and other errors. There's currently nothing as 'complete' as Trigger Maru 2.2 for SH4, but a good starting point would be Magnum Opus:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=176123

Which has new UI's, new TDC and several environmental upgrades. Make sure you apply the latest FX Update directly after OM.

The best campaign mod is currently Open Horizons II:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=182964

The full version (even with reduced mines/port ships) clunks like hell for me so I'd try the Lite version first.

And finally torpedo critical hits, to randomize your damage a little and allow the odd one-hit kill (works best with ship damage bars turned off for immersion):

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163930

Hope that helps you get started

I've searched high and low but I can not find these mods...

are they part of a mega mod?

current order:
Accurate German Flags
NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator

sobers chimney smoke V2
Trevally Automated Scripts v0.6
Trevally Tutorials - All v0.2 (for TDW UI)
Manos Scopes-Core Files

sobers reduced fog V2 SH5
sobers_realistic_underwater_FX2
IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_30_No_hydrophone_on_surface
critical hits 1.1 Torpedos
Critical hits v 1.2

I left off the 16 by 9 fix as i'm playing in 1600x1200 and twd's patcher as I'm running the steam version.

Any ideas on where I can find the rest/Missing ones? Really worried about the depth keeping and water disturbances both by TDW...

and I guess I'll need to restart my campaign?
