This thread is for issues with the unmodded stock v1.5 game that need to be fixed.
The goal is to create a stand alone "Game Fixes Only" mod that will contain all the needed fixes so the game gets all the needed fixes but stays mostly stock. Some mods contain fixes for things but also contain other stuff to mod the game so i will try my best to take out just the fixes from those mods.
look over these lists and give it some thought, if i missed anything please let me know.

issues not addressed by any mod, yet still need to be fixed in the stock v1.5 game:
give s-boats the proper 50 cal AA gun instead of the 20mm
(info here about lost mod)
stop the way ships can stop and start on a dime like motorcycles
(info here)
ship to ship collisions should do much more damage to both ships
"biskaya kreuz" shouldn't be visible underwater, same for the UZO
Missing key commands
(weather report etc)
create GHG blind spot between 340 and 020 degrees
GHG and Balkon Gerat can pick up contacts at ~25km while at 20knots surfaced in bad weather
items are reported as repaired even when destroyed
(i think its hard coded but i will look at it)
destroyed items should clearly show as destroyed instead of that silly "I"
Surface radar still gives contacts even after it has been turned off
SV Radar does not provide contacts
make warships signal lights stop blinking after the ship has been sunk
make ship flags invisable underwater after the ship has been sunk
lights shining through objects
(i think its hard coded but i will look at it)
NOTE: As we all know the damage models for ships in the game are horrible, many ships have missing and incomplete damage zones that effect how or if they appear damaged and how they sink. on some ships you cannot disable or stop the engines even if you destroy the entire engine compartment. these issues would require missing damage zones to be created from scratch and in some cases the entire damage model for some ships would need to be redone. because of the major amount of work and skill level required to do this and because it requires that you fix each and every single ship in the game i will not even try to address that issue with this mod.
