SH5 is superb with a big mod soup.

That's what I hear too. I recently bought it on steam and comparatively it was pretty turdy when I launched it. If up for the mod dance I hear it can be very good.

I need to reinstall SH5 and mod it.

I have the Trigger Maru Overhauled and the Run Silent, Run Deep Campaign for SHIV. I still enjoy the game.

This is an example of a good game turned into a great game by the dedication of a group of modders.

Can you advise? If it's not too time consuming/tough to mod I might give it a shot when I have some free time.

You could try 'The Wolves of Steel' megamod for SH5.I've installed it but have only dabbled so far.There is a little bit of changing to be done in the cfg files but it's fairly easy.I mean I managed it.

Thanks. WIll do if/when I buy SH5.

Based on the description, it looks like it makes the game more difficult. That's an intimidating prospect. Have you found that to the case?

You're welcome.

Well I have just reinstalled SH4 and have got the Trigger Maru mod installed. I don't suppose if anyone knows about getting it to run on a triple screen setup? I have trawled Google but cant find anything that mentions getting it to run?

Also with SH5 is there a Pacific US mod for it?

I don't normally use external views (not that I'm against it, I just never felt the need to) but here are a couple of shots.

Leaving port under the cover of darkness, while some seagulls see me out. No food for you guys, sorry, we barely have enough for our patrol.


Surprisingly good weather for most of this patrol. Though...


... we did get to gallop on the waves some, which is always exciting.


And a view of USS S-37's control room. I did have a cooler coffee mug sporting the submarine warfare insignia, but it broke during a crash dive drill.

Subsim.com is probably your best bet, have you searched/asked over there? I think I've seen someone mention running it on a triple screen setup but I might be wrong.

For sure,but std SH5 uses a dumbed down firing system that no self-respecting skipper would use. Plus once you have used some of the mods you will never want to go back to vanilla. It all boils down to how realistic an experience you want.

Thanks Cosmo, I will take a look.

Ok cool. My mobo was great enough to go on the fritz so I am without a desktop now. Hopefully later this summer I can carve out a few hrs a week to give this a shot.
