tortuosit 485 Posted May 3, 2016 I'm surprised Silent Hunter never got my attention. And never saw people talk about... The possibilities and community, this all reminds me of the of ArmA sniper nerds with max realism. So many distances, angles, calculations... I do my first steps with SH5 + Wolves of Steel mod (Installation with SH5 Steam was a painful process). I know there was a lot of complaints about SH5 but as someone new to the series this is irrelevant for me. Wolves of Steel seems to be THE mod when it comes to realism. And it's a full mod package so as a newb (who does not know all those mods) I do not need to install much more. And it is pretty much settled. A german language pack available as well (voices are german anyway). Love watching YT non-german gamers playing SH5 and talking funny german after the voices ingame :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted May 3, 2016 I´m playing it right now, in fact I plan to create a thread on Wolves of steel with a kind of AAR series in the very near future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
target_practice 162 Posted May 3, 2016 I have a really old boxed copy of SH5. I played it for a few weeks after I got it then gave up as I found it to be really buggy and clunky. I heard that the best way to make it playable is to mod the hell out of it, but I never really looked into it that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tortuosit 485 Posted May 3, 2016 I'm convinced they totally b0orked the picture of the mod, in "wolves" there should be that normal "s" at the end. http://s6.postimg.org/5nwzv3uk1/56565225.jpg Haha, the RealNavigation guys.... Goes like: - Approach enemy - Prepare - Wait - Prepare - Wait - Prepare - (an hour later): Torpedo go go go - (fail, haha) As I said, same es the realistic ArmA snipers. BTW those are the mods I use: What is really ridiculous is the startup times. Even on SSD. Starting a campaign or mission takes like 2 or 3 minutes of loading.

dmarkwick 261 Posted May 4, 2016 I played a lot of SH3 a while back. A few realism mods and leaving the speech to German gave me the Das Boot experience I was looking for :) My greatest achievement was taking down a ship using only sound, estimation of engine speed, and some long forgotten math. No periscope :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tortuosit 485 Posted May 4, 2016 My greatest achievement was taking down a ship using only sound, estimation of engine speed, and some long forgotten math. No periscope :) Ha, great. In SH5, I was absolutely puzzled on how to operate the hydrophone manually. Now I found a Youtube video about it. Simply mouseover knobs and mousewheel... That guy has good tutorials on many SH5 aspects... Here, Hydro hunt: Nice Wolves of Steel playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCXGyzkyFk9cYoRHxkEcPOAbTiHh0D0Lp Seems like all SH players love Das Boot (who doesn't)...

Yeah the videos are alright, but many of them are outdated by now, so consume with care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
