RFB (Real Fleet Boat) - I have limited experience with this one, but, I believe it strives to accurately model (performance, etc) US WW2 Fleet Boats.
TM (Trigger Maru) - this is Ducimus' mod and it tunes the AI a bit, reduces the number of contacts encountered, changes some of the buttons, etc. It makes the game a bit more challenging. You have to work a bit.
RSRDC (Run Silent Run Deep, the Campaign) - Lurker has re-written the mission files such that the pacific war battles and convoys are accurately re-created. There is a stand-alone version for stock 1.4, and versions for RFB and TM. This mod is a must have !
ROW (Reflections on the Water) - Eye candy mod by Leovampire. Water reflections, ship reflections, special effects, etc. Warning - once you run this and see how good it looks, you can't live without it.
TM and RFB are not compatible with one another.
I personally run all the following mods:
ROW
TM-1.7.4
RSRDC for TM-1.7.4
FooFighters Hi-Res Skins |
1. all the ROW stuff -
- Object Reflections
- Sub Reflections & Roll Pitch
- Row Camera
- ROW Textures (I use "without sun camera flare")
- Classic Sea Foam
- Sky & Ocean Controls
- Special Effects
2. Install TM-1.7.2
3. Install TM-1.7.4 beta patch
4. Install RSRDC_P2_TM_v220
5. Install RSRDC_P2_TM174_Patch1_for_v220
6. Install RSRDC Recognition manual (optional)
7. Install the Hi-Res Skins. I use black as all the boats used this (MS-9) for most of the war; a few (but not all as is commonly believed) went to the weathered measure (MS-23 or 32 I can't recall which is the correct number) in 1944.
