Something to bear in mind is the approach to "realism" that various super-mods have in their designs.

For example, GWX adheres to the idea that no sensible kaleun would ever shoot it out with an airplane. To enforce this philosophy, aircraft were made more resistant to damage and given special ammo that causes roughly 4 times the damage over stock SH3 ammo. This makes it possible for an airplane in GWX to severely damage or even sink your u-boat with just its guns alone, nevermind bombs or depth-charges. As such, any attempt to "follow orders" and engage aircraft in GWX is suicidal, at best.

I say this not as a criticism of their work , but simple fact to consider when creating your mod. So please let everyone save any debate over the choices that mod teams make. They all have their reasons, both technical and otherwise. It's just that some features of these mods will affect implementing certain parts of "Just Follow Orders".
