Theres an an XVIII in game, but I want the extra range and a snorkel damnit. I dont care for doing 30 knots on the surface.

Im in love with these uber boats, sure sure its about as realistic as cruising around in a nuclear sub but who cares.

Silent Hunter 4 has stolen me from IL2, this rocks hard. So much so I might put on a pirate hat and start singing "Fifteen men on a dead mans chest"

Is silent hunter 4 exclusively Pacific?

No, theres a u-boat missions pack. Set in the pacific with the type IX U-boat and type XVIII uber-boat

My immoral side also wants a pirate campaign. Pirates + submarines = awesomeness

Screw historical accuracy

Anyway they really should have included the XXI instead of the XVIII which is tantamount to a submerged bomb

I don't know, but I am waiting for a Type XXI mod for IL2 1946! Fokker Type that is.

You tell me!

Damn it now I will have to put on my old skipper's hat..

Oh yeah and if you get SH 4 for the u-boats, be sure to download the German SH3 voicepack off subsim.

Guess what I have done a long time ago...and so much more. Get the Operation Drumbeat and Operation Monsun Mods from lurker. Excellent stuff and also relocating the u-boote back into the atlantic.

Also an absolutely must have is the realistic environment mod.

then you get stuff like this:

OH Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

The atmosphere (never played SH3 so dont care for the comparisons) even without the mods is simply sublime.

What I do is try and spend as much of my time during the day submerged and surface at night, only attacking at night. The atmosphere when running on the surface in full moon with all the ambient sounds...oh boy lol. First game in a long time that takes me to another place like a film does. Il2 never did that.

Being a newbie I don't know whether this is a good idea but I always try and kill escorts first when I see them. Make a raid one night on a convoy and try and kill as many escorts as possible without putting myself in danger then come back the next night and go for the merchant ships.

I agree. When it comes to immersion this game is the unbeatable king of the hill. Before I forget, also try the radio mods. That is an obligatory, too.

P.S. Oh and yes! To answer your original question, yes, there is. Just search the SH IV forums.

Seems their having problems with the snorkeling mod. CO2 keeps increasing whilst snorkeling. I heard there were some "das boot" sound mods as well.

Never tried the Snorkel mods, but the CO2 problem was there from the start as a general game bug. And yes, tehre are such mods but imho the voiced do not fit into the general sound settings, so I prefer the converted german SHIII speech pack, or Spax german sound mod, which offers quite a bit.

One thing i do enjoy doing is listening to music on the journey. i even downloaded a mod that had period music and newscasts. That really put me in the 1940s!

Another thing you can do is play your own music and have it come out the gramaphone. It`s really interesting hearing modern day music played out in crackily mono! What if today`s contemporary music was all the rage in 1940!

However, i`m not too hot on the experimental stuff in the sim. I always prefer doing things the realistic hard way.

Posting those beautiful screenshots was a dirty trick you know. Now I have to start playing the game all over again..
