Regarding the track lines on the Attack Map screen, or even the target ship image on the Nav Map, I'm one to believe it's up to you the player to choose whether you wish to use them or not. Frankly, I never use the Attack Map to figure manual targeting, so the idea of removing the lines that assist those that do seems too controling to me. The same with the ship silhouette on the Nav Map. "Enabling" the "No Map Contact Update" option removes the icon. So why have a mod do it for you? It's there if you want it with the option enabled, it's gone when you don't. Same with the subs orange marker on the surface when the sub is submerged. If you don't want to know where your sub is, don't go to the "Free Camera" view and look for it.
If your honest with yourself, you can make the game as hard or easy as you prefer, without having "modifications" to the game do it for you. I learned when I was a kid playing Avalon Hill war games how to play both sides by myself. You just keep you mind focused on the side at hand, forgeting about the strategy you have in mind for the other side, and allow the game to play through.
When I'm done with the OTC for RFB/RSRDCv575, the Attack and Nav Map will have their lines and icons back, so will the sub submerged icon. It'll be up to you to decide what you wish to use.
