Did you see that link about more info on the first post?

You can download the mod from that page, which is in the modding section. Once you install the mod, you can start a new career and pick the Iowa as your starting ship. Installing a mod is best done with JSGME. With that program, you can install multiple mods and un-install them at will. The mods that I have installed for my game play is,..

Code:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
RSRDC_SH15_V550
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Less Plankton 1.2
SS285 USS Balao_Clean
USA_Iowa

The ship mod should work in stock also, but I've not tested it in stock.

The reason for the mods are TMO for graphics and other game fixes and settings, RSRD for historical ship operations, Plankton is graphical taste, and the Balao is fresh coat of paint (they did look new in WW2). The ship mod is put on last to fix the problems of TMO and RSRD (namely, bullets and gun specs). Also, because it's a ship with a very high bridge and outlooks, the sensor files needed updating to reflect those capabilities. If you were to put the ship file on first, then TMO and RSRD would overwrite those needed files.

Other may be able to explain modding better than me.
