I have played this mod for a few days now. I love it. However, just a few after-play thoughts:

1. Torpedoes are way too weak. Most merchant ships take 3-4 hits to go down. I hit a 5000 ton freighter with 2 shots, but it sailed away without lose any speed. A heavy cruiser takes about 5 direct hits to go down. I thought Mk14 torpedoes are pretty powerful. A few Japanese carriers even went down with only 1 torpedo hit.

2. Need more dud torpedoes, especially for early war period. My first patrol, all torpedoes hit and explode on the mark. That's way too good to be true. I heard real war stories that one sub hit its target with 6 torpedoes, all duds. Always MK14 had a lot of mal-functions such running too deep etc.

3. Ship manual needs more info such as ship length and different aspects.
