Hitman has summarized correctly the answers to U48's questions, except that NYGM does indeed have a single far-eastern base (Penang) and a proper Indian Ocean campaign. However, it lacks a Pacific campaign.
This may be a good place to restate NYGM's game philosophy, though:
NYGM seeks to provide the player with the same results that a real U-boat commander would have experienced (ships sunk, probability of being sunk himself, likelihood of encountering ship traffic or aircraft, and so on).
We are really not much interested in graphics, unless they can be added without detrimental effect to frame-rate. Moreover, I am personally a little pessimistic about the benefit of good graphics. A lot of players request improved graphics, such as U48's own desire for water streams for the U-boat, for example. But how often does the requester look at these visual improvements afterwards? Once? twice?, three times at most? 'Too much effort, too little return' sums it up - at any rate to this old cynic.
Give me good ships, because I will see them often through the UZO or periscope. Give me good aircraft, although I hope not to see them too often! But who cares about what the U-boat looks like, inside or out? And who cares about what the bases or land terrain look like? Who wants to see any of these items more than once or twice?
Answers on a postcard, please.
I almost forgot: U48 - I don't think NYGM is really appropriate for your wishlist of mods. But, in case I am wrong, download version 3.1 as well as 2.5 (3.1 is overlaid onto 2.5 with JSGME). Get both downloads, and IABL's ships, from my signature below. As Hitman has already said, best to make a dual install with your existing version of GWX.
Stiebler.
