No, Graf Spee was not sunk by the cruisers. In fact, her damage was fairly minor, but it was enough to force her into a neutral port for enough repairs to make it home. It was a great British propaganda campaign that convinced her captain to scuttle his ship.

the only time ive died is when ive ran into my own torpedo and rammed onto the beach. thats it. ive faced the yamato at literally point blank (our hulls were TOUCHING) and opened up on each other and niether of us had any dmg done. waaaaaaaay unrealistic so if you can do it cool.
That's certainly true, as no battleship was impervious to another battleship's shells at close range. But that needs to be taken up with the people who actually make those mods.

2.Ive come down with GRAMO-PHOBIAAA. please modders cure this dreded sickness with a giant load of sailor songs. like dgrayson and yooperback grammy mods, but with LOTs o sailor tunes and stuff . oh and a radio mod w/ Popeye the sailor!. please Cure this deases or i might perish
There are many radio and gramaphone add-ons available. If you specifically want naval music I might suggest Google - most anything can be found that way.

5.Yo! this is a SUBMARINE game! You command your sub. cool. BUT THERES NO ENEMY subs. NONE. 0. NADA.the only way to battle other subs is in MUTIPLAYer. what about in campaign. is it possible for you modders to pUt like a few subs in the game to attack you. like uhhhhhhh you could use the dd ai behavior but tweak it a littlle so thatthe sub dives and surfaces and fires torpedoes. im pretty sure this will be a VERy hard task so im just kinda putting it out there ya know.
There were almost no sub-to-sub battles during the war. There were some intercepts, mostly by the Allies, so the only realistic way you're going to play that kind of battle is if you are ambushed by an enemy sub and find out about it when the game tells you you just died. Your idea of fun? Not mine.

6.another big mod im just throwing out there is the posibility of FIRE dmage. Like You get hit by a dc a lot of subs have fires onboard which damage the sub. and the surface ships ugh. the fires on them are amazing. yet they could have 3 huge blazes and not go down. not realistic. if its possible ya know that would be wonderful.
"Lots of subs"? Which ones? please give actual accounts or don't say things like that. I'm sure the ocassional fire did indeed break out, but a major fire would be the end of a submarine.

As was said before, fires on surface ships could indeed sink the ship, but you wouldn't see that fire at all - it's down in the bilges. Deck fires are ugly, but usually don't lead to a sinking unless it's a tanker, and even then not always.

It's fine to have requests and suggestions, but not demands. You said you had no interest in learning modding. Every one of the modders here started from scratch and had to learn. I'm sure there are some who agree with you on many subjects, but please don't demand that people do what you're not interested in doing yourself.
