Thanks Spectre - I sent you a PM but i had not read your post very carefull - so just ignore it

If I could impose, I'd like your suggestions on a set of mods/settings that are a bit more advanced, without going the 'Full Real' route. I downloaded Sober's package, but it sounds like it's going to be overload for me. Coming from SH3, I'm used to running my own torpedos but like the idea of having the WO give an estimate of a solution of his own. Not the 'Gods eye view' that you get by default with SH3, but something to confirm that I'm not completely off.

I find that he list of mods that I have posted on page 1 is a good list for me. The key mods there for controls are TDWs UI.
His UI has an options editor that will allow you to set your own level of detail and control. Its well worth setting up as we all want differant things from the game.

I may perhaps write a guide for using TDWs option editor

For torp firing - I would suggest a full manual route here. Many SH3 players upgrade to SH5 and find the firing harder than SH3 where Weps would give suggestions. There is a similar option with SH5 within TDWs UI where the Weps will help you set it up.

TDW has made a tutorial that you can try from the main menu where this can be practised.
You can also use a mod that I made "TDC helper" - this mod will run in the background in automation and when you target a ship - hit the shortcut key and a window will pop up with a step by step guide on inputting the solution into the TDC - see here

I would also point you to some of my tutorials for using the RAOBF wheel and the fast 90 attack. Both can be played from the tutorial option after you load TDWs UI - see my tutorials here:-

It also sounds like choosing German voices is required for some of the mods to work. Is there a list somewhere of the ones that require that German be installed? I've got it installed now but understanding what they're saying is more important than immersion for me now.

Yes - this is required so you can use stormfly sound mod
If you do not want the German voices - try using http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163530

together with Karls voice fixes - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174063

I started a new campaign tonight and wound up hunting the Balkan sea. I presume I made an error when starting the campaign?

Sounds wrong - you should stat in Kiel - try a restart

Sorry if all of this has been covered elsewhere. To be honest, I'm pretty overwhelmed by the number of mods for SH 5. If you can point me to some threads to read with suggestions for n00bs, that'd be great too! I've done some searching but, frankly, there's such an overload of information, I just don't know where to start. Like many others, my playtime is extremely limited and having a starting point setup more or less like SH3 would help me immensely!

Thanks again!

Mike

Hope this helps and keep a look out for a guide to TDWs options editor
