Destroyers

[Submerged Viking]

Hey

I remember in Silent Hunter 3, a lone Flower Corvette would give me a hard time in shallow waters, but in SH5 I simply dive and cruise away from every destroyer that's "chasing" me. Now, am I an awesome, unbeatable submarine commander or is it just that this game has destroyers with bad AI? I haven't been depthcharged and chased like I was in SH3 by destroyers in SH5 before.

If this has been posted before I'm sorry. Couldn't find anything about this anywhere.

You need the IRAI mod by TDW, this makes the AI extremely realistic and they don't just give up like in stock SH5.

But beware, this makes them about 100% more difficult to the stock game.

Welcome aboard Submerged VikingDo as advised ^ and then look for Fifi or Sober's mod list for new SHV players to start! Good Hunting!

[Submerged Viking]

Thank you guys. I have installed IRAI using JSGME and have played for a while now. Currently in Mare Nostrum. Don't see much improvement on the destroyers but we'll see later in the war. Thank you again.

By the way, if the Norwegian government decides to raise the wreck of U-864, I'll post some pictures on this forum

Good luck on all that mercury from a St Olaf grad!...don't go fishing there till the next century either.

The difference should be noticeable immediately, unless it is not installed correctly.

Can this mod conflict with some of the other mods I use? I have a few eye-candy mods and Wamp's plane attack mod.

[V13dweller]

You should refer Sober Megamod list which is a sticky on the SH5 mod forum.

I am not familiar with that plane attack mod, so I do not know if it may conflict or not, but most likely it will.

If your plane attack mod is not there, I would recommend removing it in favor for the IRAI mod which does allow for planes attacking.

Showing us your modlist would also help.

This is my modlist:

Depth_Keeping_Problem_HB_2_0_0_TheDarkWraith
sobers waves mod V12 27032013
Accurate German Flags
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2
U-boat Historical Specifications 1.7
BRF 1.3 full
Wamphyri's Plane Mod
IRAI_0_0_39_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_39_Inertia_Damage

[V13dweller]

The plane mod may overwrite, but I am not certain.

I will go and find my modlist when am back at my desktop, maybe starting a new campaign would help.

And IRAI has plane attacking already built in.

[Submerged Viking]

I would seriously like if somebody showed me their modlist because I am really frustrated by these destroyers even with IRAI installed. I tried playing the Gibraltar historical mission. I fired the deck gun at several destroyers before I went deep at flank speed so that they would have no problem finding me. But they still just circled above for a minute, dropped ONE depth charge far behind me before retreating....

Going back to SH3 GWX

[V13dweller]

I will send my mod list when I get back to my desktop.

But you usually a new campaign can fix small problems like this.

That is the modlist I used when I last played Sh5, which was many months back. So I cannot guarantee if it will work.

[Submerged Viking]

Thank you! Those are some fine mods. I have just recently decided to give SH5 another try myself.
