I've played both of the BIG mods and I believe NYGM is the better of the two. NYGM ver 2.2 is more realistic in terms of game play. The enemy (allies) AI is smarter, unforgiving and doesn't allow you to make many mistakes. To play NYGM well requires you to be on your toes. The dare devil, overly aggressive captain gets killed in NYGM!
I'm in early 1944 (14th patrol...600k tonnage...100% realism) in a IXD-2 and have learned through mostly minor errors that you must take NYGM seriously. Attacking a convoy now, with as many as eleven escorts, is not for the faint of heart. There are circumstances when you can't attack in NYGM and if you force it you can get yourself killed.
Also you read a lot about eye-candy on this forum...as far as I'm concerned, NYGM has more than enough eye-candy and its totally immersive. Bottom line...its the game play that is superior!
