You read correctly - SH5 is now DRM-free, which is why after waiting more than a year I finally bought it.

1) Nope, havent tried the latest version of TMO as I just got UBM, so I'll definately give it a try, though if I remember correctly I have to back up data folder as even with Joneses GME it would corrupt it if trying to uninstall (?).

I use MultiSH4
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1110 to have separate installations of the game, one for TMO, one for RFB and one for OM. As I stated earlier I seem to be forever stuck in 1939, so I play the U-boat side exclusively for the time being, though I have played a little with RFB. That way you don't have to uninstall anything. Also JSGME ocassionally doesn't uninstall all of a mod, but for the most part it works as advertised.

3) Actually when I remember back when I started, I did shoot slow torps. I would take some targets far away and then fire fast ones. Then take middle targets and shoot slow ones, and then take the short target with fast ones. With the time it took, almost all of the torpedoes would strike within a timespan of 10-20 seconds. Fireworks ftw.
With 100% realism it takes too long time to shift between the targets, so now I usually pop up in the middle of a convoy start shooting left and right

You're a better man than I am. I can't target to save my life, so I have to use Auto-targetting and miss SH3's WE Assist mode.

Though its actually 3-5 clicks for me on a screen that usually doesnt respond quickly with all the smoke n flames. If anyone knows if the setting can be changed (menu_1024_768 perhaps) then please let me know.

I have a very old XP system and still get pretty good frame rates, mainly by turning off some of the graphics effects. You can also adjust parameters in your graphics card, and if your system is newer you might try the 4GB patch, which forces the system to use more of the available memory.

4) That's nice. I don't mind popping up and finish off a single merchant that's already engulfed in flames. But to be able to take on 3 destroyers and then sink the rest of the convoy with the boomstick is a bit... overkill

It's much more fun when they're actually dangerous.
