Technically yes. Operation Monsun is the only supermod designed to work with u-boats, and it gives a complete Atlantic u-boat campaign as well as various boat types.

TMO-things which definately are active in Uboot Missions are:
* new grammophone songs
Sound files work with all variations of the game.

Quote:
* the new navigation map
OM will give a German map with both latitude and longitude coordinates and the Kriegsmarine grid.

Quote:
* no identification (friend / enemy) on nav map for ships spottet by scout planes / reported by radio message
Again that's a file type that is universal. If OM doesn't do that for u-boats it's possible to isolate those files and install them with OM.

Quote:
* the changes in a lot of buttons in command bar (most without picture though which is fine for me), exempli gratia: weather report, normal-sweep mode for sonar-guy, follow warship for sonar-guy, ...
I believe OM does those as well.

Quote:
I feel like the "less ships and no single ships on the open sea"-thing is active too, but that is a feeling.
I'm not sure how OM handles those, but in an Atlantic u-boat campaign single ships were common, especially early in the war.

[/quote]* better / more penetrant AI (can't judge about that, did not play against a lot of warships, neither before nore after TMO yet)[/quote]
That's something I can't address one way or the other. Sorry.

Quote:
* less but stronger planes (which might be active, I only encountered a single 2-planes scout unit during the first patrol which did take several weeks, but did travel long distances surfaced. Before using TMO I had up to 5 or more planes per day in some areas if I do not mix that up with US career)
I can't play anything right now, so I can't double check, but I think OM does that for u-boats as well.

Quote:
I'm gonna try some US careers anyway at some point because I am a big fan of the crappy S-18 :-)
HEY! The S-Boats were great boats...in 1920.

One of the best tools you can use is MultiSH4 http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=433. It will let you have and manage several versions of the game at the same time. You can have TMO, RFB, GFO, FOTRS and OM, all in separate games.
