I wrote shining review of SH4 for Wargamer site, but then had to endure endless attacks on the forums from the people who, well, obviously don't like the game as much as I do. Be warned though, even though I consider it a very good game, I am known for my fanboyism and evangelism for the games I love. Patched and modded SH4 is a BLAST to play.

I would greet another patch very happily nonetheless. It didn't live up to my expectations 100% (which would earn it a 10), but it is quite playable and I don't regret my purchase. Overall, on your scale, I'd give SH4 an 8.

There are one or two gameplay bugs, however (such as the pistol setting switch not working) which I would really like fixed, but I wouldn't call any of them show stoppers.Īlso, there is a wonderful selection of mods on the forums that fix many of the historical inconsistencies and make the game look better. As a person who likes realism, (hence being part of the RO community) I'd like them to fix these things, but when it comes down to it, it does not really effect me all too much if my sub has some torpedoes a year earlier than it should. Most of the problems they were reporting were realism inconsistencies, which don't really matter to gameplay. However, I find it quite playable (even if I am still not skilled enough to get hits most of the time but I play on 100% realism, so that's my own fault ). I was a bit disappointed as you are after buying it and reading the forums.

Well, I have it, but it is my first subsim and I'm still a noob with it, so I don't know how much my opinion can really help you but here it is anyway. If you have it how would you rate it 1-10 with one being completely dissatisfied, 5 neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and 10 Completely Satisfied. Overall, it seems like people have a mixed view: they like the submarine setting, but there are still things wrong it in (e.g., propellers spin the wrong way)ĭo you play Silent Hunter 4? Is it any good with the current Patch? Should I keep it, or return it next time I'm at the store (still in box unopened)? On the Forum board, people say it still needs another Patch, and there is no offical announcement on the Forum News that a new 1.4 Patch is being worked on, though one of the Forum fans who's the ringleader pushing for a new patched said some Customer Representative told him Ubisoft would patch it again, which is really just words (maybe to get rid of him).

(including sales tax) but I did read that this game still has a lot of problems at the game's Forum site (always a good place to go to see how people feel about a game)

Don't take chances and you won't be surprised by the results.I bought this yesterday with a coupon on sale for $28.50 U.S. The final part, the actual battle, is simply a matter of bringing enough resources to overcome the enemy. Positioning your cruiser groups is an exercise in the art of interception. With scout planes, finding a target is obviously easier since their speed and detection range is much greater than yours. Find the target, position for attack and then deliver a crushing blow. The same steps one takes in hunting as a lone submarine apply here. What are the tactical steps for a successful mission utilizing the new strategic support features? However, there is nothing stopping enterprising modders from adding it to the U.S. Submarines benefit greatly from sighting reports from scout planes (one needs only to read the memoirs of Grand Admiral Doenitz to see how many times he requested scout planes for support) and it makes perfect sense for a form of collaboration similar to what we've modeled here to take shape.Īre the strategic support elements available only for the new German campaign?Īs of now the strategic support features are available only for the new German campaign in U-Boat Missions. In a grand scale war there's always information flowing to and from submarines, and commanders often reposition their battle groups or divert resources based on feedback from the units in the field. The actual concept of a submarine commander giving direct orders to aircraft or surface warships is admittedly a little stretched from reality, but not by much. Is the strategic support feature of U-Boat Missions historically accurate or just something you invented?
