Like Silent Hunter III, Wolves of the Pacific puts you in a 3D submarine, surrounded by virtual crewmembers that follow your commands. A career can easily occupy days, if not weeks, of evening play time. The lengthiest of all the gameplay modes is the career mode, which lets you begin in any year of the war and go out on numerous war patrols. Then there are war patrols that let you cruise around looking for trouble. There are stand-alone missions that put you in the middle of battles if you just want to dive into the action. In Silent Hunter 4, you can experience the war in the Pacific a number of ways. What followed was unrestricted submarine warfare as the US sank more than 5 million tons of Japanese shipping, though at a loss of almost 50 submarines and their crews. Japan, being an island nation, imported much of its food, fuel, and resources from abroad, and US submarines were tasked with cutting that lifeline off. Though it doesn't get as much coverage or attention in the popular media as the German U-boat campaign in World War II, the US submarine campaign against Japan was extensive and devastating. In many ways, Silent Hunter 4 doesn't veer too far from the formula found in Silent Service and is a faithful successor to that seminal game.Īccording to submariners, there are only two types of vessels: submarines and targets. Now with Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific, you play as an American submarine skipper battling against Japan. 2005's Silent Hunter III was the last release in the series and let you captain a German U-boat in the Atlantic during World War II. Although the genre has seen better days, it continues to plug along thanks to Ubisoft's solid Silent Hunter series.
I would also like to thank Jimbuna for uploading sounds that I required to complete this mod.įor best results you should consider using my audio mods called Īll audio files contained within this mod were created & or merged by Venatore.Famed designer Sid Meier established and defined the submarine simulation 22 years ago with the classic Silent Service. The Das Boot U-boat screw sound effect was created by an unknown modder of the Subsim community & I would like to acknowledge whoever he/she is. Whilst in contact with the enemy, you should consider closing all compartment doors aft of the command room this will reduce engine noise filtering into your command room compartment.
I’ve also created a unique electric generator SFX for the U-Boat, for best effect stand in the generator room to listen to the new electric generator SFX.
