If you want harder game play then i suggest a few of my mods .
sobers fog : more realistic gameplay , its awesome in a convoy .

Also i turn down the gamma so on a moonless night i can only bearly see the crew standing next to me .
Only works if you have a darkened room or a cardboard box surrounding the screen LOL . I find the in game gamma useless , adjust the gamma on the moniter.
Also try my TC settings . Apply to the SH5 folder in my documents .
