SILENT HUNTER 4: WOLVES OF THE PACIFIC – PIG BOAT PATROL
Article by Erik "EINSTEINEP" Pierce on Mudspike
Nice flashback article about SH4, with a thoughtful shoutout to you and Subsim. I love articles that examine a game made in the past. Good job, Erik. Enjoy! SILENT HUNTER 4: WOLVES OF THE PACIFIC – PIG BOAT PATROL Quote:

Marvelous AAR and it has inspired me to get back into SH4. It's been several years since I last tried to master the beast but I really want to give it another shot.
I finally gave up on my last attempt after I had absolutely no luck in hitting anything! I am playing with the TMO mod (nothing else) on realistic mode and I can't hit a thing. After reading your AAR, it occurs to me that the incorrect mast height data could be the problem (first I've ever heard of this bug. Hey, I'm pretty much a rookie ). The TMO info doesn't mention this problem at all, so I'm wondering if a correction was included. If it isn't, I'd like to add in the mod to correct it (even a printed correction chart would help). Unfortunately, after examining page after page of available mods, I can't seem to find it. Anyone have a link or suggestion? |

Nice to see that, like a handful of boats, SH4 hasn't been completely handed over to the scrappers' yard.

Download the OTC 1.5 mod for TMO. You'll find it in these forums. This will correct the problem with wrong mast height data as well as a few other things! adrians69

Nice to see SH4 still getting kudos. IMO, one of the best subsims available.

Wanting to get back "in the saddle"
It's been almost 6 years since I last sailed the Pacific Blue in SH4. Recently I have been viewing the You Tube presentations and have the urge to get back on the scope. I noticed some "new" features (?) that I do not believe my original sim had. E.G. what appears to be a table on the right side of the map screen; more voice interaction when diving or surfacing, and the gauges for speed, course and depth seem to be different as well as a new gauge when the TDC is activated on the right side of the screen. Also the tabs on the lower left of the screen seems to be changed? Are these mods or do new versions of SH4 sold have these already? In addition I noticed something strange when someone went "through" the forward hatch from the control room to the forward battery area it sure did not appear to be a US sub but more a German VII?

You could have been viewing a U-boat in the U-boat Missions game.
I think that Silent Hunter 4 and Unreal Tournament III are about the only two games of that age that have aged really, really well. When I'm playing SH4 I feel like I'm playing a current quality game. It's a shame that simulations can't make a game company enough money to get any love from them.
