Hi Elphaba
Any contact with the bottom and you are going to sustain some sort of damage.
SH5 has come a long way over the past 6 months.
I can highly recommend TWOS if you have at least a 2gb gpu.
Treat Yourself To The Wolves Of Steel Mega Mod <> SH5 The Dawn Of A New Beginning
This is TWOS in action.
Post #24 Shaefer’s Season 2 Let's Play Silent Hunter 5 YouTube Videos
You can play TWOS at any level depending on your New Career setting and customizing your Game Play Settings.
Well worth the effort.
