U-571 won an Oscar for sound editting. It knocks the pictures off of the walls in my home theatre, and the neighbors complain. Das Boot, God bless it, just doesn't have that aural punch. Nonetheless, in terms of character and storytelling, it's Das Boot that's obviously the giant of the genre.
There's a great thread a few lines down about the various versions of Das Boot.
As for your sounds, I can offer this basic advice, in that there's a sound folder in SHIII where everything is stored. You can click on the icons and hear them for yourself. It's quite possible that your favorite sound has been over-written by a mod. In the "great advice that's too late" department, I would suggest that if you are a JSGME user, you could simply revert your files to get the original sounds back. If your favorite sounds are indeed gone, try to identify which files have been written over, and maybe someone has the originals that they can share with you, or you could re-install the game and retrieve the files for yourself.
