This is my very first mod installed and I love the sounds and the foam. However, why is it so hard to sink targets? I had a small merchant as one and had to use almost all of my deck gun ammo and it still didn't sink.

Prior to this I had sent a volley of four tops at 2,000 m and the ship magically swerved. Two torps simply went under the keel and passed harmlessly by. Perhaps the Mod is realistic but I personally find it overly frustrating. So, my other question is: Can I take out things like the hard gameplay and the map icons? BTW I'm playing on a customized Normal setting. Have fuel, power, oxygen and CO2 enabled.
