Just bought Cold Waters...

What mods (other than the reduce visibility one) should I get?

Already downloaded and printed off the manual.

Anything else I need to know?

I like the Enhanced Navigation Map (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=5265), It gives you more detailed depth information when in the strategic map.

You’re probably got your hands full learning how to fight the Los Angeles right now, but once you have, there’s the New Playable Subs & More mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=231690). It’ll let you play a large number of other nations subs, and there are 3 campaigns as a Soviet Commander

If you don't have this mod yet, explore it. :-)

Thanks guys!

Just need a tip for evasion..

After I have evaded a torpedo and hauling away at flank speed, the torpedo has gone into circle mode.

I am quite a good distance away, and the torpedo requires me before hunting me down. (Which I evade again)

Any advice to avoid this from happening?

I use the big-screen map in those situations because I can tell distances. I go silent and stay 8-10 kyds away. I am not sure of the minimum distance since depth, layers, self noise I am just not positive about. But, it seems to work.

Radically change depth the instant the torpedo loses its lock. Use the keyboard ( hold S+E for full planes/balast up or W+C for full down, and X to level off), you want to be above or below its seeker cone when it comes around. Repeat until the torp looses you then stay at that depth until you're safely clear (2~4 Kyds). I also find evasion is easier in map view.

Do you find that after you evaded the torpedo, and it starts a circle run, that it will relock on you even if you are a thousand + yards away?

That is what I am trying to shake loose.

Killerfish, yet again, has made an amazing game.

I was just wanting to find out what mods I should install on the game. I love the realism that could potentially be added though these mods. Super keen to continue adding them.

My first visit back to the forum since Dangerous Waters was released.

Played RSR to death back in the day and finally discovered Cold Waters last week. Promptly purchased and played. It is amazing how much you forget over almost 30 years....

Anyway, game runs great on laptop running Windows 10 PRO, however, when I installed it onto my desktop which is connected to my wide screen TV, the game loads as normal. On clicking into single mission or training list, the game processes through to the page with the signal from the boss giving me Command of my boat. The Opposite window, only has a grid in it, no submarine shows at all. When I then click 'Accept' I get a message saying that the game has crashed. Anyone got any ideas why?

Sounds like an incomplete installation to me.

Morrissey · 03-22-18, 10:25 AM

The download came from Steam. Just been playing it again on the laptop without any problems. I will try uninstalling and re-installing on the desktop and see how that goes.

Morrissey!

AFTER A TWELVE YEAR SILENT RUN!

Granimal · 03-30-18, 10:18 PM

I myself finally bought this game and have been loving it. I watched a few videos randomly on youtube got interested and got it! Just completed my first campaign. WOOT!! just practice and find what works for you in what situation. I have issues in the shallows still but I am learning.

Capt. Morgan · 04-02-18, 04:51 PM

@Granimal: Welcome to Subsim and congratulations on completing your first campaign.

Feels pretty satisfying in this game.
