You can download and read about NYGM here:
http://wolvesatwar.org/nygm/
It stands for "Not Your Grandmother's Mod", similar to Grey Wolves it's a collection of enhancements for SH3. Most notably it's tonnage rather than Renown based. So you can upgrade freely, but it costs time.
It is, and with it's next version will become even more so, brutally realistic. It's got some very nice and extremely well done changes and features, but at full realism levels it's extremely challenging. It's not quite as graphically upgraded as Grey Wolves is. Personally it's a bit much for me, but I'm still trying to give it a fair shot. In fact just about to start a new campaign with it!
The two mods are not compatible in any way.
Ships are actually far more difficult to sink in both Grey Wolves and NYGM (they both use the same damage model) compared to vanilla SH3. You don't have to use the manual targetting, but many things such as Weapons Officer giving you an acurate distance when asked has been removed. So it's more difficult even with the "easy" mode on.
I'm not familar yet with how crew is handled, but awards and experience are still in there, but I believe Grey Wolves actually increases the rate of promotions.
Hope I was fair with this and it answers your questions.
