I could think of no name better then Trigger Maru, in reference to the many Edward L Beach books I had read. I was making a supermod, and decided that I should finally give this thing some name and character. As FTT grew, I had finally conceded that what I didn't want to have happened had happened. When TMO first started out, it was originally known as SH4 Flavored to Taste or FTT for short. As thing things turned out, I ended up being one of those supermod teams. It was my hope that in time, like SH3, a modding team or two would form to create supermods, and then I would be able to sit back and play. So it was, that my original intent was to work out some basic fixes and work arounds to make the game playable. Since most of the experienced modders I knew of at the time were sticking with SH3, I was left with a feeling like I had to do something. So when I came to Silent hunter 4, I had a little bit of a head start knowledge wise when it comes to adjusting the game. In Silent hunter 3 I helped developed some of the first understandings of how the AI works, introduced a couple fixes to SH3 of my own, and ended up neck deep in the whole modding scene in Sh3, and was involved in things both good and bad. Try as I might, I couldn't keep myself out of the game files. Starting sometime in 2005 I developed what I call, Compulsive Tweaking Disorder or CTD for short. Well, we see how that turned out don't we? I came to Silent hunter 4 from the silent hunter 3 community, with a couple years worth of modding and submarine sim's under my belt. The irony here is that, I had no intent on modding. So, Instead of complaining, I squared my shoulders and set about to fix things as best I could. Here, finally, was the (modern) game I was waiting for such as it was. The reason was simple, a long time love affair that started when I was a kid in grammar school reading books about the exploits of US submarines in the pacific. But after eleven years, I was not about to toss up my hands and cry foul. Silent Hunter 4's state at release was nothing short of appalling, if not an outright travesty.
Was the wait worth it? Unfortunately, it was not. Finally after eleven years of waiting, a pacific submarine simulation was finally here. I certainly did not set out to make a super mod, in fact originally I was intent on not modding at all! When Silent hunter 4 was launched, I was ecstatic. What you have here is the culmination of three years worth of modding silent hunter 4, and a long road finally reaching it's conclusion, at least for me. 56įorwardWow, where to begin? While I'm not one to go with long windbaggy speech's, it's occurred to me that having been at this since 2007, I should permit myself to stand on the soap box for this, the final version of TMO. I'm the galloping ghost of the Japanese coast,You don't hear of me and my crew.īut just ask any man off the coast of Japan,If he knows of the Trigger Maru.
One propeller shaft sprung and my battery's done,But the enemy ships I saw burn. I got by on cool nerve and in silence I served,Though I took some hard knocks in return, I've come in from out there for machinery repair,And a rest for me and my crew. I was blasted and shaken (some damage I be taken),my hull bleeds and pipe lines do, too Then destroyers came sounding and depth charges poundingMy submarine crew took the test.įar in that far off land there are no friends on hand,To answer a call of distress. My men pouring sweat, silent and yetCursed me and the whole damned Pacific. When we rigged to run silently, deeply I dived,And within me the heat was terrific. While they wire Yokahama I could see Fujiyama,So I stayed, to admire the view. I've cruised close inshore and carried the warto the Empire Island Honshu, I've been stuck on a rock, felt the depth charge's shock,Been north to a place called Attu,Īnd I've sunk me two freighters atop the equatorHot work, but the sea was cold blue. I look sleek and slender alongside my tender.With others like me at my side,īut we'll tell you a story of battle and glory,As enemy waters we ride. You don't hear of me and my crewBut just ask any man off the coast of Japan. THE GALLOPING GHOST OF THE JAPANESE COASTI'm the galloping ghost of the Japanese coast.
