Ok, I was looking for something different and ended up buying SH5 off Steam. The manual is pretty slim and not being one for tutorials I have jumped straight into the game. After a couple hours I have installed a few mods; New UIs 6_4_0, Real Enviornment - Revision_2, Damage assessment, Critical hit torpedos and guns and DasBoot sounds.

Anyhow, after spending several hours reading through the forum I still have several questions:

1. Any essential mods that I am missing? I tried the MO mod but it really killed my performance.

2. What are the caption things over crew members heads? I assume it means that I am to talk to them, but after I talk to them and exhaust all the choices the caption thing comes back.

3. Is there any way to force/use crossfire in the game? I have 2x5770 but only one card is working in game. (yes they are enabled in command center).

4. When my crew guy says "ship bearing 231" or something, is there a tool that shows the degree bearings? and if so how does it work?

5. Is there a way to run on deseil engines underwater to save battery power? For when going through the English Channel I would like to stay under water but I use up my electricity engines so fast.

6.CO2 level? what does this mean? I am guessing it is the build up in the sub, but when does it become a problem? I get a warning at 10%, but ?

7. After I have the guy use the Flack/deck guns, how can I get them back on the boat? The only way I can get them off the guns is to go underwater then resurface.

8. For whatever reason when my char is manning the deck gun he can only shoot the bullet type ammo, I try to click on the other ammo but it doesnt change (if an AI crew mans the gun he shoots the cannon type ammo though?)

9. Messages; I am assuming red messages are directed at my ship by enemy and green are from my leaders.

I think that is all for now, I am sure I will have many more as I am still just on the first mission. thanks.
