doing the "heavy" and "light" versions are a good way to go depending on your system you can decide which is the best fit. as you said, "this was a problem in sh3 as well", will you do this same mod for sh3 as well?

i think many people who like playing silent hunter, do so because they love the "game" and don't need a history accurate simulation so speeding up loading times and fps might be worth the cost of losing some eye candy.
SH3 is a different story altogether, the traffic in it is not nearly as crippling as SH4. I don't have any plans to make a similiar mod for SH3 at the moment. I decided to drop the light version of the mod for SH4 as well, because it simply wasn't providing enough of a performance gain.

People play the game the way they wish, though I'm fairly certain most people here are very realism oriented (kinda goes without saying ) but this mod is here just to present people with options. The mod doesn't remove anything that would affect gameplay at all, it simply removes the eye-candy that some people can't afford to having running in the background. Granted, you could say it does affect gameplay to a degree because you will rarely have to figure out if your detecting friend or foe but I don't think that's a big deal personally.
