SH5 Mod Guide for Beginners

[Jockz]

Ohoy!

I'm new to this forum and i would like to ask a few questions.
First of all i'm new to SH series since 3-4 weeks,I've tryed out SH3,4 and 5.
And the mechanics seems better in the earlier games but SH5 have better graphics and a more reality feeling imo. So i found out that mods can improve the game in SH5 and thats why im here.

The big question is,Wich mods should i get? I've seen there's alot of them and some big packs aswell,And since i'm kinda new to the game i don't wanna get used to the standard game. Also is it wise to start with a big pack or just one by one and try it out? Also i want the game to be as realistic as possible except Real navigation(I'm currently learning how to navigate)

Thanks

Welcome aboard Jockz
The easiest way, IMO, is to go with either wolves of steel megamod, or wolves from the deep magui megamod. Both are an "one step" awesome multi-mods package.The difference is mostly on graphic layout ( look on youtube for the difference), but both will give you a real good immersion and realism. When you are ready, there's also a version of Wolves of steel with real nav.

Welcome. Concider Sobers mega mod too.(Lame old wolf Mod) I think thats the most used..(or am I wrong?). I have not tried the others so I can t tell difference. Use real nav from day 1. You can get deadreconing or celectial from crew with an errormargin. good luck..

Ahoy Jockz, welcome aboard....
Try Balanced Mod List from Trevally. It's a small mod list with good balance for beginner. Don't forget to patch to 1.2 first for stability and use it with JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME)

Hope you can sink some destroyers !!!

I have a pretty low end system with no immediate plans to upgrade. I would like to get the most I can out of SH5 so would Trevally's "balanced Mod List" be the way to go?
I'm assuming that Sober's mega mod or Wolves of Steel would be a bit much but maybe I'm off base here.
Any suggestions on a realistic or "lite" mod list would be appreciated.
I may not be the only one with a limited system wanting to take advantage the great work these modders have done.

Run Uplay "as Administrator" and start SH5 from there. Uplay will launch Steam if required.

I am completely new to Silent Hunter 5, and I am not very computer savy, as some of the younger players are. To start I would like to know what is the single best mod download; that is simple and safe for a beginner. I would like kind of a step by step instruction, at least for the very first one. I need how to open the downloaded file, and how to put it the proper Silent Hunter file. I would like to know things like how to get torpedos without having to return to port, and ect. Thanks for any help that can be provided.
