Hey guys!
First of all I'd like to congratulate and thank the entire Silent Hunter modding community for their amazing work.
I first played Silent Hunter when I was a kid. Silent Hunter 2 I think. I also played SH3 a bit later on. Recently, out of a sense of nostalgia I wanted to play the game again. I bought the latest one, SH5. The stock game, other than the nice graphics and moving around inside the sub, kinda sucked. The gameplay was evidently dumbed down and some things don't even work! Then via the youtube videos of stoianm I discovered the modding community
!
Now I'm playing SH5 with mods based on sober's mod list from the subsim.com forums. I'm really amazed on what these guys have done and how they transformed the game. I play almost 100% realism (only external camera turned on; I like to look at my torps hit the target) with real navigation and the immersion is great
.
I'm always looking for more mods that can improve this experience. The thing I'm currently looking at is radio stations. The only one I've got now is Washington which just loops around the same piece of music. By searching the web I've found the Intercontinental Radio Pack for SH5 on these forums. From the description it seems perfect!
Mods have saved this game. I've already donated to subsim.com in recognition of their efforts. I've now donated to these forums as well, as a real way to say thank you and support your efforts
