I am just now trying TMO after three years of SH3+GWX+SHCommander, SH4+RFB and SH5+TDW Mod Soup. I am having no real issues with TMO, but it would have mauled me as a new captain.
I can attest to that. When I had bought SH4 I did some research and only played one stock campaign mission as practice before downloading TMO. I died about 15 time before I ever actually completed a single patrol.(Though the first 3 were caused by me not realizing that you can click the depth gauge so you can go lower then a 165 feet.)
