Crazy nazi fanatic? Maybe you mean to say WWII buff. A crazy nazi fanatic is um... a Nazi.

I haven't played 2.0, but I like the "no renown for reaching patrol grid" idea. The campaign in stock SH3 is built only on the free-roaming aspect, it doesn't model large naval operations or realism. The 300 renown you get is quite a lot for doing nothing more than your job, so I was fine with taking it out.

The emblems on planes are painted on, why would they fall of when damaged? There a many mods for more realistic damage, but they are centered on ships. You really aren't supposed to be watching the planes anyways, you are supposed to run, run, run from them.

The Catalina is a pretty big plane, I doubt it was the one you were talking about, but since when do battleships fire their main guns at planes?! THAT is unrealistic. The plane was either hit with AA, or a machine gun, and that probably wouldn't sink it.

SH3, even with GWX is a submarine mod. It is not a particularily good sim of surface..well, everything on the surface. It models torp damage and submarines very well, and it would be foolish to expend a lot of your time on things the player won't experience.
