My problem is solved.. I reinstalled the game, and now the museum shows the USS Colorado with proper textures..

Also, I have been playing ONLY on 100% realism.. I wouldnt want to learn it any other way.. and it's been fun trying out all the things I can think of to see what happens..

Had only one unexplainable crash to desktop (CTD) - dropped Secret Agent off at the beach.. moved my sub, and heard excrutiating grinding and metal bending sound effects and then I realized I was running over top of his little rubber liferaft.. rubber sounds like metal? But wait, there's more! So I leave and go out to sea, and save my game to play the next day without making it home.

Next day I reload the game, Im in the middle of the sea, and the message pops up "ready to release the secret agent liferaft" or something to that effect.. so I hit OK, and CTD.

I have enjoyed shooting down so many zero A6 planes I cant count right now.. but when a pair of jap bombers go over, I find them much more difficult to damage, and Im using twin 20mm's. Will we ever get better AA guns? hmm.. could be fun.. Im not afraid to fight incoming planes and just repair light damage most of the time..

Even though Im on 100% realism, I might save and reload from time to time in order to replay each contact. I consider this first full career a training run anyway.. and eventually I will play without using save and reload. I have had plenty of wounded medals, and medals of valor etc.. Need to find out where the exact running total tonnage reports can be found.

The one and only thing I can think of right now that would be nice, is getting rid of the big orange symbol following me around on the surface of the water which is visible in my scope and ruins the realism, but I dont want some large mod that changes many other things.. only this one thing.. any suggestions?
