scroll down until you find the link, use translator or seek link near text 2GB 4GB

to potentially get it to work properly. Make sure to get BOTH the main file and Large Address/4GB patch.

For updates read the latest posts, I'll try my best to keep the OP up to date

Well, gotta say I am extremely confused by how the modding community operates around this game. I thought the Silent Hunter was something, with many tutorial / instructions written in a way that only people who already know how it works can make sense of them. But, this game brings that to the next level. I've been hunting for informations and all I am doing is bouncing from dead links to japenese websites then back to a forum that requires mandatory registration and talks of a donation or something. I am extremely confused by all of this. o.O

If the purpose of this confusing web of information is for the community to filter itself out. Well, I guess that's a win because it definately work to discourage me from looking further into it.

yeah don't bother its a rabbit hole not worth exploring, pretty pathetic that they work on a mod and make it virtually impossible to obtain it. Even behind a paywall, makes no sense and I will never get it. I'm satisfied with the japanese version, much better waste of time than trying to pay for something that doesn't want to get paid.

Just get the download for the 3.4 version a couple of posts above, or use the Japanese community mod.
I don´t know how they are even allowed to essentially sell a mod. It´s weird....

The download in Russian of 3.4.7? Yeah, I tried it. Both alone or by activating it over an existing installation. Just closes when trying to start a mission. I might be doing something wrong but if that is any indication of the "paid" version, then I don't think I'll bother to chip in.

I just installed the japenese one with the mission addon and effects. Works fine. Now I just need to wrap my head around this game. XD

First mission I tried, the AI seemed to go somewhere, steering and all, so I figured I could just focus on Gunning for the time being so I dont get overwhelmed by the learning curve. 15m later my gunsight got thrown in the air. Then I use the eternal camera. Guy just casually drove off a bridge into the lake and our tank was lost.

I mean, ok, they can't be all like that. Probably a bug.

Second attempt. Same thing, tank seem to be going somewhere so yeah, wanted to focus on gunning. Commander calls out a target, this time an anti-tank gun, then immediatly starts steering AWAY from it. I'll let you guess what happened.

XD

Yeah, I got a feeling that unlike M1 Tank Platoon 2, I'll have to babysit every single station otherwise I'm dead. XD

Playing the game is not that difficult.

Yeah, I guess it ain't that complex in term of what you need to know to run the tank. But, I'm used to that other tank game. The cool part about it is I can lead a full platoon easily with the map and focus on designating targets for my own tank. It's hard to describe but the AI is actually very good at carrying out that order having no issues whatsoever firing on the move. Even gunning myself is fairly easy thanks to the laser rangefinder.

The only time it ever gets tricky is if a shot get through the armor and damages my targeting systems. Then I gotta do it the old fashioned way but that's of course assuming my crew didn't burn alive or something. XD Modern armor is great but when a shot manages to get in... well modern weapons does sting a lot. XD

Thanks for the video, ill watch it all. With a bit of hope that's all I'll really need.

Also, I noticed on your video that you were using the STA mod. Since you seem to be in the "know", I'd have a question. So, I am aware of 3 mods so far.

Japenese community one based on STA 2.2.
STA 3.4.7
Steel Panzer 2.3

Do any of these mods overhaul the gameplay in any meaningful way or are the mods for this game more akin to content expansions?

Finally. Thanks to your quick tutorial I managed to complete a mission without dying. Had to give my commander a few pointers here and there thought.

Didn't do a hell of a lot of damage but still got a couple of kills. 40 total, mostly infantry blown up with explosive shells and machinegun fire. Got 2 AT Guns as well and 2 Tanks. One I shot in the side and went dead almost immediatly. Think I got the crew inside or something. Sent 2 additional shots in the turret just to be sure. The other one was facing me later on. SOMEHOW I made it explode in one shot with an AP shell. I think I might have gotten lucky and that shell probably went between the turret and main hull. Thats the only way I could see that happen. Unless, at ~500m even the front armor cant take it? Anyway, not lot of destruction but still a win. :D
