Thanks will do.
Just ran game without any mods and still have weird semi-sub ships through scopes so guess something got fishy and need fresh install.
On sidenote; pretty weird game design : in Main Menu you can customize gameplay settings to your personal prefences (a.o. map settings) but when actually starting a campaign you can only select one of 4 predefined game settings; medium, hard etc. which overwrites the Main Menu settings.
So you can not have a fully realistic game with external cam enabled. For external cam you can only select 'hard' (or lower) setting when starting campaign but this automatically also enables map updates.
In short, the custom settings in Main Menu are useless as any user specific settings will be overwritten anyways.
By the way; what is difference between tactical and nav map ? Look pretty similar to me ...
An diff between Obs and Attack scope ? Also look pretty smilar to me.
