I am downloading the Gamersgate version of the game which I am hoping is able to be modded, if not, which digital download of the game should I buy?

If so, happy days and here I go sinking my life in to another silent hunter career

My last game played was Silent Hunter III, I skipped 4 as playing as a US captain didn't appeal to me at the time, I always viewed the submarine WW2 sim as the classic German perspective game.

Anyway, I am looking forward to getting in to it again. I recall with SH3 I used to manually target ships by plotting their course over several observations and then plotting an intercept point down their path, drawing a right angle to their path to work out a firing solution, I'm a bit rusty from a few years break, but does this method still work for targeting in SH5? I enjoyed it as it felt more realistic having to work something out and plan the attack vs just having the computer plot it for me.

Plus, attacking a target in torrential rain was near impossible. I believe there is a mod to make the UI more SH3 style, which I am hoping would allow the above attacking technique to work if it does not with vanilla SH5 UI.

Thanks for any advice and I hope to get this up and running smoothly and be on my way.

I was thinking of starting out with the list from the site below, the list that states for good immersion.

Is this still an accurate list to use today?

Thanks for the help.
Go for "The Wolves of Steel 1.03" megamod because it's a balanced and stable mod, and is the easiest to install. Also vdr1981 works tirelessly supporting and updating his megamod.

Sobers megamod is also very good if you like installing and tweaking your mod setup.

Check out these links and see what you think.
