Another thing i cannot stomach in sh4 is the rate of dud torpedoes. I wont turn them off as i like to play as close to reality as possible but they really do get on my nerves  |
We're talking about the mod "Operation Monsun", however, which has a full German U-boat campaign just like GWX.
(Despite the misleading name - it was originally meant to be only a Type IX campaign for distant waters, but its maker was inspired enough that he gradually kept adding theaters and boats, until he had the full campaign including the Atlantic and Med, as well as all of the U-boats featured in SHIII and its major mods).

That said, it's not necessarily a huge problem - actually setting things to GMT in SH3 always bugged me a bit, because Kriegsmarine ran exclusively on German time, not GMT. So, if you're departing from German or French bases, technically the base clock is accurate and it's the only clock actually relevant for keeping track of your patrol (although it may throw in some problems if you're combining it with a real celestial navigation mod).
