That's true up to a point, Steve. But a WinMerge compare of the en_menu.txt files from GWX Alternative Flotillas and Thomsen's sound mod shows quite a few unexpected differences. They won't affect the operation of the program, but they may affect gameplay. Like having tooltips for most gauges and dials in German. (Yes, I know it's supposed to be the
English file....). And not having Labels on the Norwegian U-boat bases.
And overwriting
Thomsen's with
Extended Free Cam will lose you the system check and engine start sequence which plays when CTRL-S is pressed. A trade-off for the individual gamer to make.
IAC, there is no danger of breaking the game - whatever that means, which is generally just that a reinstall is required. But there are consequences, and mods may not work as expected.
