I forget the names of these other mods, but I know there's a British sub mod and a Russian sub mod (I remembered getting mined near Leningrad A LOT). When I last played it (years ago so this may have changed) the crew was still speaking American English, but I think that's an issue hard-coded into the game. It's basically Silent Hunter 3 in Silent Hunter 4). If you're interested in the German perspective, Operation Monsun gives you a pretty thorough U-Boat campaign (not just the boats that were sent to Indonesia. I've heard good things about Run Silent Run Deep, but haven't tried it myself. I played TMO for a while, it's a pretty good overhaul mod (you get to see mk14s in all their terrible glory). Now, with TMwTW and 16 gigs of period music and news loaded in to the radio, SH4 is one of my Happy Places. It's an excellent website and a good cause, but I've enough subscriptions so I just paid, DL'd and didn't renew. Need to be a member, cost $5 last I checked. He gave the whole mod to subsimcom and it is a "premium" file there. More difficult than stock, much more approachable than TMO. Some guy took the whole TMO mod and tweaked it to be more friendly. Then, I discovered Trigger Maru with Training Wheels (hate the name). No longer is every IJN destroyer coming right at me with glowing red eyes and a bone it their teeth. I missed a few things (a more detailed interior for one), many of which can be obtained in single mods. Never quite fully happy with it.Ī year ago I tried a vanilla install for kicks and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Spent a lot of time trying to modify it myself with little success. Really like it but always felt it was too difficult. Using Trigger Maru mega mod since it was new (now called TMO). And the changes made to the game really didn't endear me to it.I've been playing SH4 off and on since it came out. For starters, I'm not a huge fan of the Type VII.

I need to unlock the Type XVIII in it, still.Īs for V? Eh, I didn't care for it. However, I do appreciate IV's expansion, quite a bit. Both have their low end vessels (Type II/S-Boats) and their high end vessels (Type XXI/Balao-Class), but there's a greater difference in performance between Type II and Type XXI than there is between S-Boat and Balao-class. There's a greater disparity of performance between the vessels in III than there is in IV.

I'm looking at this purely from a mechanic standpoint: Geez, if SH3 is long in the tooth, then what does that make Falcon 4.0? Are we talking Battle of Thermopylae or even farther back?įor me, III ever so slightly edges out IV, but I love both. The mods for it are awesome, and even though it's long in the tooth, (in sim life), it's still great.
