Hi and welcome back.

You cannot use LWAMI and RA Mod at the same time. (I mean, I guess you could, but you really shouldn't because it would break everything I think.)

The LWAMI team has done some great work in fixing bugs and other issues with the game, but they are limited by the license agreement in some areas.

The RA Mod team, on the other hand, have made some changes that would be considered illegal under the license agreement. I think the RA Mod team are overseas and hence aren't too worried about getting in trouble. (Something like that.)

LWAMI adds NON-playable vessels and makes changes to senors and weapons. Many missions that new were designed for stock DW will not work correctly with the LWAMI mod because the sensor ranges have been changed on many of the vessels. The new models are nice, but I don't care about those things personally.

RA Mod adds new PLAYABLE platforms. So if you are interested in driving ships or subs that are not included in stock DW you should check out RA Mod. I am pretty happy with the stock playable platforms, but that might change in a few years when our navies have moved on to newer subs and us subsimmers are still driving around in Cold War era boats.

I am not going to recommend a mod for you. I have tried both of them, but I think I prefer LWAMI at the moment. I've used RA Mod for a few minutes, maybe I will give it a longer try in the future.
