Great stuff, really enjoy it.

1. Any info. on the struck ship on the loading screen ? Be interesting to know the history behind it's sinking, etc.

2. Any way to disable the 16k mod ? I like it, but want to try without it too, if possible.

The ship si the United States tanker Byron T. Benson 7.953 tons after being torpedoed by U-552 (Erich Topp) on April 5, 1942 in grid CA 7652

The burning tanker did not sink until three days later.

2. Any way to disable the 16k mod ? I like it, but want to try without it too, if possible.
Not in any practical sense. There are a lot of small features that are based on the 16k world such as the hull down positions etc

I hope this helps.

Ok, thanks for the info. Interesting seeing the two life rafts fastened to the funnel.

I thought other items might be tied into the 16k mod, no big deal :)
