Let's Play Silent Hunter IV - Patrol 1 - Part 1

- Finally, as promised, I begin the career of Lieutenant Commander Ken Masters as he hurricane kicks his way into the Japanese fleet in Silent Hunter 4! Through some kind of crazy Grimithesque necromancy, the old crew is back together along with some new faces as we begin our clumsy rampage across the badly-named Pacific Ocean.
I will be using the Real Fleet Boat v 2.0 mod as well as the Run Silent, Run Deep Campaign mod for added flavor, texture, and mouthfeel. We'll also be starting out in a sugar boat, which we'll quickly see is not as sweet as it seems. Haw!

Just coming back to watch again. I remember these days 7 years ago, ah how time flys boys.
Same here. As well as all the PTO 2 campaigns
Memories...
Can't wait to watch this series it looks good, so far.
Still, I think I would have changed one thing in the settings the distance measurement from km to miles, as the note afterward even mentioned 40 miles.
Great commentary and informative about the boats...
Got this game a few weeks ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, Commander S.M. North and the USS Skipjack met their end during a photo recon of Bandar Seri Bagawan- stupid pillbox. Managed to bring a destroyer, two gunboats, and two subchasers down with me, though.
Ah the SH4 Intro. The greatest into movie of all time.
One positive for the S boats is that their less advanced, World War One vintage Mark 10 torpedoes actually worked most of the time from the start of the war, unlike the Mark 14s (which were buggy as hell until late 1943) which constituted the standard armament of the U.S. fleet boats.
So glad to have you back, you are the best SH let's player I know and I really missed your commentary, no homo
Vanilla is kinda fun, I had a Balao class boat with dual bofors AA guns. I decided to raid a port, as I was trying to escape after sinking a handful of juicy targets, I was spotted by a pair of destroyers (akizukis if memory serves), seeing no easy way out, I decided to try my luck on the surface. After surfacing, I jumped on the fore AA gun and targeted the command deck of the closest destroyer (about 250m away at 40° to port) using HE rounds, I kid you not, the thing died after 4 full magazine salvos, I couldn't believe my eyes.
IRL you have to clear your baffles before surfacing to make sure there aren't any Japanese fishing boats above you or nothin' like that. Since you can't hear over the sounds of your own engine you have to turn left and right to get those last few degrees of audio.
Vanilla with natural sinking mechanics and higher damage from enemy guns makes this game fucking awesome.
That bouncing mouse during the intro movie killed me.
Looks like I found this 7 years to late. Happy hunting
I believe so but honestly the last time I tried I was super new to the PC gaming scene. This makes me want to have another go at it. Awesome content btw, I'm really enjoying this LP.
The only thing that separates Juicy Rump from the rest of the crew is that he doesn't hide his preferences behind his name. You go, Juicy Rump!
We haven't lost anybody in this career, although from last time, I don't think people were too pissed. That said, we lost everybody in a single attack, so that might have made people feel more reverent or something. But hell, I was pissed!
Not sure if I want to know, but welcome aboard!
mannn i just got into the madness that is sh4 and i gots to say this is an excelent lesson in how to handle a leaky creaky death cigar sofar....
Been a long time. But here we go again. SH4! Hell yeah.
The S-boat was mainly used as a trainer after Feb '42.
Do you mean February of 1943? The S boats were used extensively operationally in the Aleutians (based at Dutch Harbor) as well as in the Solomon Islands (based at Brisbane) until the end of 1942 at least.
I've gotten myself to play this game after playing Silent Hunter III for a long time, I'm still trying to familiarize myself with the controls. I'm still a noob. And the very first orders I got are to sink Japanese shipping off of Honshu, near the Japanese mainland...
I'm on a Core2Duo E6300 with 4 GB RAM and a GTX460. The game runs beautifully when I'm not recording, but there's some stuttering when I record.
Thanks for posting this!! I've been waiting for a good "movie" about SH4 play on TH-cam to come out (so far the ones that exist are a bit disappointing) and I'm really enjoying your style. Keep up the good work! :)
Don't worry darling, I'll do a Monsungruppe playthrough at some point, just not sure at this point whether it'll be SH3 or SH4.
It's good to have someone volunteer to be tied to the front of the boat in the inevitable circumstance that we ram a sampan. Welcome aboard!
My name is commander submarine force.
stamp my fly
Your torpedos will be ready at your command Herr KaLeun, ehm Lieutenat Commander! :) So we are on the good side now. Thumbs up and good luck to all of us. Greetz, "the TrunkMonkey torpedo system, only available at SUBurban UBoat Groups."
Shirley? Ehm, okey, I'll try not to, I guess. Although, when under great stress I may suffer from temporary memory loss, and from now on there's always a chance that Shirley will be the only thing I remember.
So the crews last moments, as we sink into the abyss, might be me running around screaming Shirley. I think this may be the real motivation as to why we want to avoid dying and win the war.
Well hello. I'm going to enjoy watching these videos.
Glad to have you back, although I'm not letting you stand beside me. You get to stay in the engine room with all of the other deviants.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, and also your enemy spies. Give me those too.
I've always needed a good cabin boy. Welcome aboard!
Glad that someone caught that, although in reading more of Ken's bio, he's 3/4 Japanese. Whoops.
Alright, let's bring the fight to Tojo! Sign me up as Soapy in a RADAR position!
Fighting against the Japanese is very mommy flavored!
Yeah, there's an eerie number of Germans aboard this ship. Probably nothing to worry about!
With a name like that, ABSOLUTELY.
What's the problem with the intro? Yeah the music is kinda cringy but it gives a good overview of how the war is going.
How is the music cringe? I think that it fits quite well.
I've learned the importance of being one step ahead of you weirdos. Welcome back!
Yep, just be sure to say "freak in" when I order silent running.
Hello. I'm here in 2020 because this game has just come up in a sale ( not advertising, won't do it ) for £2.99 and I thought, "why not?" I was a massive fan of SS II and wasted countless hours on my Amigas playing that game, racking up the tonnage. I think I'll give it another go and see how it holds up on modern PC. I think I might be disappointed by the implementation yet will stay for the gameplay.
i just found you less than a min ago and i can say i love you
If you want for laughs, spell it tenguuuuu one ninetyyyyyyyyy. Can't stop laughing every time you do that.
I love the SH IV intro. But i will miss SH 3 ;(
I admire your honesty. I'll put you on zee list, mein freund.
Yep! Welcome aboard!
Gotta be a bit scary for a crewman named Juicy Butt locked on a boat full of lonely sailors. Does it PO the viewers if one them dies on a mission?
You're very welcome, although I don't know if you should be thanking me yet!
sir i am happy to be by your side and i hope to be on the crew for a long time,i do my best not to let you down :)
I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out but 2/3's speed gives maximum fuel efficiency.
Surely you can't go to war without Krumbull in you crew, who knows what could happen!
cute little submarine
Good video.
It's fun listening to you while watching the game. You get a good mix of commenting and spreading background information going.Have you played SH5, yet? If so, how is your opinion on that?
Yes another SH4 LP with mods! Question though, did you buy your game on Steam? I've never gotten the mods to work on it even with researching subsim and JSGME
motley crew is back
I don't think anyone that has studied the history of WWII wasn't spoiled by that.
I'll put you on the list! There's an unnerving number of German spies aboard this ship...
Will do!
Is that an English dog that's trained to use the toilet? Bad puns aside, welcome aboard.
Gah! Time to reinstall this game. Back in the mood.
Welcome aboard then, and don't call me Shirley.
I'll put links in the description shortly.
Oh hey you did! Can't believe I didn't get a promotion though. :P
bright eyed and bushy tailed isnt it an australian thing like a possum?
first time watching one of your LPs after LethalFeline (DeathCat) recommended you in one of his vids and I love the playthrough already
and you totally won the internet by naming your Captain Ken Master I now just hope you will encounter a japanese Captain named Ryu so you can Hadouken the shit out of each other
Yep, I am using the steam version. It works fine with the mods. I don't mean this to come off snide, but have you actually enabled the mods in JSGME? Only reason I ask is that I made that mistake before. :)
So excited I love this game so much
Hah, sucker! I mean, glad to have you with us!
the submarine is bigger than your old U-boat and its considered a small U.S submarine. Gee i wonder how big the larger ones are
i pissed myself when i saw this in my newsfeed finally!
I'll see what I can do!
Here of enlistment again captin sir ^.^ wulfie reporting for duty!
May I volunteer for flak gun duty's again if you get another boat with a flak gun.
I kick zero's ass's and chew bubble gum .....and I'm all out of gum ^.^
Also to be less suspicious as a spy you can change me second name to my RL one of macpherson so you can have a bit of that Scottish connary magic on this boat haha :P
24:47 Don't you know it... ;)
24:56 I just suck in general. I'm only there as eyecandy.
When you did the Roy Orbison growl I died.
I'll see what I can do. I've gotten this request before, but I really don't get a lot of time to work on my channel and I really try to remain focused on doing actual LP's (which also impacts my ability to respond promptly to comments). Is there a specific problem you're running into with your mod setup?
Winter Owl uses the s-18 and sank because of an A6M
i love you effingcontroller
Man, I definitely hope we'll get a flak gun; how else are we going to sink small merchants? And I'll be sure to change your name.
Pacific means peaceful if you did not know(witch ironically is not at all peaceful)
Yeah, I didn't mean to take a big old dump on vanilla SH4. It's a good game in its own right, it just isn't challenging for me.
Well gosh, how do you think I'll feel?!
I have won a few myself.(Though that was using the Narwhal sub and that one has two deck guns on it.)
You got it!
What are the mod(s) you use in sh4? I've seen your video and I think I gonna play at silent hunter 4 again.
Also, I know this is old but you should try the Improved Environment mod
I volunteer for service on the S 38!
I was on your SH3 lets play and I am reporting back for d
uty Kapitaen
so exciting!!
at roughly 9:45, how do you/or what mod do you have that shows all that torpedo information?
i knew that joke was coming lol.
Yeah mine got all shot up to hell as well.(At least no one died.)
thanks
If we get sunk again I'll be very upset.
what mod enabler do u use cause the last one i installed didnt do anything
It's a different company. You'll just have to work your way up.
Its so cool mod!
What EC?!? Are you some kind-of coward who doesn't want to get into gun battles with a destroyer in a submarine? GROW SOME BALLS MAN! ;)
On another note... this game has one of the coolest intros I've ever seen... and I've seen quite a few games in my day.
allright sir but can i shot at a ship for one time?
This is a perfectly valid method given the tools that are in the game, but it removes a huge amount of the challenge for me so I won't be doing it (although the temptation, especially in rough weather, is pretty hard to resist!)
Ken Masters... Street Fighter Much? :DD
3 minutes:Yeah,I feel like SH4 is a bit too easy... I keep playing through the first year of the war over and over.
20 mins:Crew of immigrants!
What's Hogan's Alley?
