I use 1.4 with no mods on 100 % realism and am quite happy. after 11 patrols it's mid 1941 and I rank 5th in the historical U-boat captains rankings which seems fair enough. THis is my second full campaign, my first i went right through to 1945 on lower realism and racked up tonnage that would make Kretschmer green with envy, which I did not like as it seemed unrealistic. If these 100% settings work out than by my reckoning by 1942 at the latest I should either be:

A. Dead
B. A POW

or if I am very lucky:

C: Promoted to a desk job!
( of course the last two won't really happen so I'll just play until the first happens, btw, I don't save mid patrol, and when I die i DIE, end of campaign, start again.)

My opinions on Mods are that the ones which just change cosmetic stuff are ok, though I don't feel I need them, but I am against ones which actually affect gameplay because then doesn't it mean if we all have different mods we are all in effect playing slighty, (or largely!), different games? Doesn't this then mean discussion of tactics and results achieved are then not comparing like with like and therefore pointless? Just my view...
:hmm:
