ROW is basically textures and sound that do not affect the games mechanics. The other mods from Sober are also texture mods and do not affect game mechanics. Prolong DC attack does change mechanices of the AI. I have them loaded like this:
ROW camera mod v 2b
ROW sub reflections and pitch mod v5
ROW textures with sun glare v5
ROW special effects with stock files v5b (be careful here as I'm not sure natural sinking mod can be used as yet with ROW)
ROW objects reflections and search lights v5
ROW sky and ocean controls v5
ROW slower clouds
RFB_1.4 for ROW RC1
RSRD P2 RFB V240
Prolonged DC attack
ROW sound effects ( I put this here because the prolonged dc attack has different sound files but I like ROW's sounds better, putting this here will overwrite the sounds from prolonged dc attack mod)
after this I just have the texture mods, like HUD's and chronos, etc. Very playable and enjoyable game. I have my realism from RFB and realistic shipping traffic from RSRD. The rest is sight and sound. Again, textures can go in anywhere when activating mods unless you are trying to change a particular texture, then the new file you wish to use should be loaded after the mod you wish to overwrite some files.

AVG, I'm alittle curious as to why I don't see the RSRD p2 patch for RFB listed. Is it because the patch dose not need to be installed via JSGME? I'm asking because as of yet, I haven't updated to 1.4. Still waiting for NSM to be finalised, and for ROW to be compatable with it. I have the patience of a saint!
