After a week of testing mod combinations...
 

I finally came to this combination which seems to be working nearly perfect:
1) Magnum Opus 001
2) Magnum Opus Patch 2
3) NewUIs TDC 690 ByTheDarkWraith
4) Open Horizons II full v 1.6 5) Deutschmod 102 (am a German user)
I know that some of you may say "Magnum Opus is outdated", but I like it's SH3 like user interface (makes handling SH5 much easier). There are - as far as I can see and according to historic facts - only five probs to be solved in this mod combi and here I ask for your help:
1) The DF antenna wasn't in use all the time and therefor should be lowered. Is there any mod that fixes that?
2) I really don't like the game cam's behaviour because of it's bending and stretching (it's simply impossible to make realistic looking screenshots without further photoshop editing). Is there any neutral camera mod available?
3) The animated KDB (upper deck hydrophon) doesn't stop rotating when surfaced. Can that be fixed?
4) When surfaced the sonar guy continues reporting contacts which was impossible until the "Balkon-Gerät" came into service (late 1942). Has anyone a link to fix that?
5) Something else which needs to be corrected: In SH5 under water there's always to much light and a far to good visibility. I've been scuba diving for years and never saw a scenario where above water was less light than under it (that's physically simply impossible). Furthermore the water in most cases is to clear. It's impossible to see a ships or submarines complete hull down to the keel when sailing in the Baltic, the Northsea, the Atlantic and most areas of the Pacific and the Med. If the sun is in perfect position and you're watching a ships hull from above in the Northsea, Baltic and North Atlantic the maximum visibility under water is something around two or three meters (depends on the situation). Only in some areas of the Med you'll be able to see the complete hull under water. Is there any helpful mod? Or a tool to change this by myself?
I know that I'm quite late with this topic but I didn't want to support Ubisoft's online compulsion. So I waited and got my SH5 last week for 4,99.
I hope on your support. With best regards from the bunker

In this thread You'll find a list of mods (post 1) that improve game immersion grately.
Also recommend Sober's or Night's underwater mods that should be applied after Dynamic Env. v.2.1 (read previous post) mods and to choose one on them You find more realistic.

After that You'll understand that Magnum Opus is really outdated:yep:

and thanx for your replies. MyMegaMod seems to become the answer to many questions - I will give it a try. This one could become what the GWX mod was for SH3. To non-modders like me such mod packs are the only chance to get a playable and somewhat historically authentic SH5.

Thanx again. :up:

With best regards
