Less than 4 minutes after sighting I fired four bow electrics at the cruiser, 3 hit and the forth was a dud, but the ship exploded and went down. Working as quickly as I could I submerged, attained position and obtained the speed for the firing data. Sank a 5500 ton freighter early on, but then made no sinkings for almost 2 months, just no contacts, though I did attempted to thread inside a convoy, fired 2 torpedoes at a large tanker that were both duds, and escaped.įinally, off Stornoway, while surfaced in a raging storm, a Kent class Heavy Cruiser emerged from the fog at 1300 meters. Just completed my third war patrol and it was a memorable one, just shy of three months at sea. Took command in September of 1940, out of St Nazaire. I am currently in command of U-46, a VIIB.

Silent hunter 4 manual targeting tutorial mod#

I've used manual targeting for years now and the mod I pictured in the last post is by far my favorite attack periscope in any version I've played. But I started a new one and it's been fine.

My first career did end when I had some sort of glitch causing all crew slots, torpedo slots, and upgrade slots to disappear. This screen is ideal for manual targeting. I find speed using the mark pencil, stop watch, compass and nomograph. Here is a shot of the attack periscope screen using the KiUB mod and full manual targeting, that is I set the dials myself, don't use the notepad method. If you have the UBoat itch, but SH3 isn't doing it any longer for whatever reason, or if like me you just don't feel like fooling with resolution fixes, Starforce, and many hoops to get a good mod, Operation Monsun is a fantastic choice. Be sure to read through the OM installation thread for details.

Silent hunter 4 manual targeting tutorial install#

The install I am using is the recommended one if all you want to play is UBoats, but you can aslo choose to have US boats in which case a different install is in order. There are other sites where you can get most or all of these files, but of course I recommend Subsim. If anyone knows where to find it let me know! I want to use the nomograph in this thread, but haven't found a good link. I am also using larger HUD dials (I use the medium option)

There are many additional mods you might choose to use, I am using the KiUB mod, which redoes the attack periscope screen among other enhancements, and I find it very good because I use manual targeting. If you do not have it already you can get it here I highly advise you use JSGME to install these files, and for any mods you use with SH4 for that matter.

Silent hunter 4 manual targeting tutorial Patch#

Lurker also released OMEGU, which is an optional environment and graphics enhancementĭownload links to the main package and to patch 7 are included in that thread at subsim Using JSGME, this is the install order I recommend, but of course you can flavor to taste. If you are not a donor, you will be limited in the amount of downloads you can do in one day, so it will take a couple days to get everything, at least if you want to run an install similar to mine. If you want to try it, join if not already a member there. But after having another go I got it right, and frankly I am really impressed with the mod. I downloaded and installed with JSGME, but I got it wrong somehow and ended up with some sort of hybrid of stock and OM, and I wasn't impressed, not least because I didn't know I had screwed it up. But no matter, because there is Operation Monsun for SH4. Just looking through the install instructions for LSH was enough to make me lose interest, which might be a shame, as I might be missing a really good mod. Recently I had an itch to get back in to a German boat, so I had a look at some of the SH3 supermods, like GWX, NYGM and LSH. This isn't new, or news, and many will already know of this mod, but it's new for me and I am impressed enough to post it up in case some might not be aware, but want to play UBoats in the SH4 engine.
