In reply to raduz's original question, "why should I bother to play after 1943"? It really depends on what you're looking for in the game. If you just want to sink ships and have fun, play on the lower (easier) settings and go for it. Without any of the mods it's probably still fairly easy to sink the enemy and survive. You can safely add things like the Harbour Traffic mod and graphics mods yourself, and not change anything.
When you feel more comfortable at harder levels, or are crazy like some of us and want to pretend we're really U-boat Aces (yeah, right!) then you have to accept that the odds are you're going to die sooner than later. That's one of the beauties of this particular game-you can be as realistic, or have as much fun (or both) as you want. It all depends on your taste.
The supermods are tailored more toward the "realism" side of things. There is no rule that you have to use them. I personally use a hodge-podge mess taken from several different sources, though that may change with GWX.
We'll see.
