I play SHIII since the releazing date having achieved a topscore of 160.000tons with my beloved U 124 with realism all the way up to 100%. Limiting factors which prevent me from playing SH3 and reading submarine history are two:
1. My wife
2. Real submarines
The thing that I mostly enjoy is practicing plot, appoach and attack procedures that I have learned by using my BRC and IS-WAS. The core things for SH3 are:
ANY supermod with SH3 Commander and SH3Gen plus:
1. Adding ships to campaign files.
2. Any interface that makes things easier, as in real life Captain has 30 men helping him while in SH3 you are all alone.(
New Optics for NYGM 3.0 1.1 
)
3. Res fix (1360x1024 in 17'' 4/3 screen)
.
4. Realistic submarine and enemy sensors.
I always try to combine the best of them so I have a very mixed version of SH3.
What I do to add real submarine atmosphere to SH3:
1. When the scope is down I shwift to the 3D connig tower or CIC room or operate the sonar manually.
2. Carefull procceding from depth to PD by using SONAR and Periscope to the last meters.
3. When attacking I keep periscope low and never more than 10-15 seconds exposed.
4. Open Hatch, Corrected diving angles
.
5. Good sounds
6. I always moore my submarine to the dock when coming back from the patrol.
From this step I want to say a big
