SILENT HUNTER 4 REAL FLEET BOAT MOD

With a bit of breathing room we closed the convoy's track. In TMO these DDs would have been on me in no time. The escorts closed the spot we submerged and began a search, but the time it took them to close, and our 7 knots submerged meant they were unable to detect me due to the distance we had moved from the point of submergence. Quickly pulled the plug and turned in on the convoy. I attempted to end around, keeping the convoy hull down, but it was bright daylight, no wind, just a blue bird day and we were spotted by the escorts at about 9000 yards as we made the surface dash to get ahead for a periscope attack. Made just one contact (still no surface search radar of course, or SD yet), a 5-ship convoy in column, with a leading and trailing destroyer escort, likely heading for Lingayen Gulf. Now, I've only done my first patrol for the Asiatic Force following Pearl Harbor, in Spearfish, assigned to patrol off Camrahn Bay. I installed it, along with RSRDC and several minor mods. But the ability of the ships, and not just escorts, to detect my boat is greater than what I would expect, or want. Again, I don't mind a challenge, in fact I look for it. The convoy eventually hove in to view, and when they got to within about 4000 yards (2 miles!) the convoy detected me and began evading to the south. In two separate attacks I was able to eliminate the escorts, one sub chaser with a Cutie, one weaving, charging destroyer with a down the throat mag shot, and after pulling off and doing an end around, sunk the last escort a few hours later, leaving the convoy shorn of protection.Дid another end around and after a few hours I submerged 6 miles ahead to lay in wait. I was detected at about 4500 yards, submerged, silent, brief periscope exposures. Picked up a convoy - 6 freighters with 3 escorts just northeast of Wewak. For example I was assigned a patrol in the Bismarck Sea. But I found it virtually impossible to avoid detection by 1944. Don't get me wrong, I love a stiff challenge, I'm the sort of player who loves spending hours evading at depth without externals, staring at the gauges and sweeping with the hydrophones, working the plot, calculating speeds, course, AoB - essentially attempting to re-create the role of a sub skipper (and tracking party) as closely as I can. It is a fantastic mod, I like it very much, but the player detection is too much for me.

Had a look about and decided to give Trigger Maru 2.5 a go.

I played one career with point-and-shoot targeting but after sinking half a million tons in 7 patrols I knew I needed to mod up to get a proper challenge. Recently got back in to Silent Hunter after many years away, and because I recently re-read Silent Victory for the nth time I chose to go with SH4.
