Hunting in the Dark: Why the THMYL/LBT Mod Makes Silent Hunter 4 the Ultimate Sub Sim Thereâs a moment in Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific that separates the casual players from the die-hard captains. Youâve just tracked a Japanese convoy for three hours in rough seas. Your sonar man whispers âMerchant, closing.â You raise the periscope⊠and see nothing but rain and 10-foot waves. You earn that kill
It looks like you were starting to type a title for the Silent Hunter 4 mod (likely referring to the âTrigger Maru - Loads of Bearing Trackingâ or a similar realistic overhaul mod for Wolves of the Pacific ).
