Glad you like it.

I don't quite understand the last question. Are you asking if you can leave it enabled while you play something else? The only files that are changed are some sensors, so it detects the enemy at a greater distance and I added some ammo to the guns. So there are some 'changes' but it shouldn't conflict with the stock game, but may conflict with other MODS that change the same files. The sensor changes may enable the enemy to detect you sooner too, so you may not want that in there.

The problem with engaging another target using playable turret is that you cannot estimate the distance. At close distance it is easy, but in other situations it's rather difficult. Besides, engines damage model appears to be not quite appropriate for a cruiser... however, this is a sub simulator, not a surface ship so that's OK

Yes. I mean when you have already saved career files. Rgr!
As for mods, I'm using ROW Textures, Environmental 4.4 and NSM 4.0. But don't know if any of them may conflict
I don't use those mods so I don't know about conflicts.
As for the range, I am putting in an UZO as suggested by Webster, so you can estimate range, or if you have map contact showing, you can estimate range there, but not very accurate.
I am also working on more magnigication for the gun scope, but I've had trouble with the "optical" on my machine. I think it is the scroll wheel on my mouse, I am going to try a different mouse. Some other can use the magnification without problem.

I'll upload an update when I get them in. The Uzo is not difficult, but the magnification may be if I can't test it.
