The most possible realistic play?
I would say, it's more up to how you behave, i.e. how do you treat the boat and crew, how you react etc., than a matter of what mod you use...
Otherwise there are loads and loads of mods. A couple: RFB, OM, 9D2, IJN, TMO...
Have a look around. Neal has just reported, the board is safe for another half year...
