Operation Monsun question

04-19-12, 08:03 AM

First of all this is the best mod for SH4 for me, hands down and no questions asked.

Now that's out of the way, do sub upgrades work? I started in the first flotilla with the IIB (for fun) but despite having done pretty damn well in several patrols (especially since I only get 5 torpedoes and no deck gun) I haven't got anything. No equipment upgrades and most of all no sub change. All they gave me was a bigger machinegun which doesn't get used much anyways.

Also is the thing still being developed? It should be. It's the best mod after all and since we're never, EVER getting a new Silent Hunter, SH4 will have to suffice quite possibly for several decades before anyone decides to make a new WW2 sub-sim with germans.

The only upgrades are those that were available historically. The Type II didn't get too many of those.

As for the game itself, there isn't much development going on. More people are still making mods for SH3 than SH4. Operation Monsun could use some upgrading, but mostly what's missing are the little immersion mods that could be transferred from SH3. For details check out this thread.

Yeah I can understand the IIB won't get gigantic conning towers with 2 huge machineguns and a full auto anti-air cannon, but I would have expected to be gived at least the IIC by now.

Could you just confirm if sub changes work? If they don't that'd be quite a shame.

If you can confirm it works then it simply means I had a bit of bad luck so far not getting a new shiny boat.
Remaining in the ace boards with the IIB is TOUGH!

I also am wondering the same thing. Is it possible to get promoted to a new boat (of a different type) in OM (the way sh4 stock promotes you)? I love my Type II...but I'd like to move into one of the nice big IX boats sometime. Did this ever get figured out?

Sailor Steve · 06-20-12, 07:27 AM

That, I don't know. I've never tried to get a new boat. On the other hand I run simultaneous careers out of each flotilla, so I'm always in a different boat.

Spot on. ExAcTlY.

On 5th patrol, and nothing can be upgraded. Running around at 13kts with 5 torps, until when...?

I started with a II then switched Flotillas because I wanted to be at Brest and got a Type VII. Somewhere around Sept-Dec of 43 I got an upgrade to the conn. Although that was wonderful there is now no slot for the conn in personnel and the boat can do everything ... except go forwards and backwards LOL

I now have to figure out a way to not get the upgrade since you can not decline it when it is offered.

I know it doesn't help much. Err, at all.

But I start OM careers in VIIB's. It avoids all of these issues.
