Noob (me) needs help.

[Novakat77]

First time I am speaking here on subsim, so hello everyone.

Now onto what I need help with, first I am running the 1.2 version of the dvd exe so I can use the TDW patcher. Now as for patching my copy of SH5 I would like to know what I need so that when a ship gets hit and starts taking on water, that it will continue to take on water till it sinks unless of course it is repaired.

Second I have a few mods I've downloaded and tried, but seem to have some issues, so I would like some help with the ordering of the mods and of course suggestions of mods that I might need. the following image is of the mods I have and the order I installed them.

Now the problem I'm having is that when I use my scope to start identifying and setting all my other TDC info I cannot identify the ship as the officer that normally let me click the identification, range, etc. No longer has these options and just says unknown ship and will not let me select any of the TDC options no matter how many times I turn on and off the TDC, so I need help figuring out what I did wrong.

side note: I have the realism setting set to high and not realistic.
