Default Which mods would you recommend here...?

Good day chaps,

After doing a search in the mods section (and there are a few that interest me already) I was hoping you could recommend or direct me to any of the more popular mods that do the following -

- improve ship smoke,especially when being hit by a torpedo
- improve the overall burning effects,especially concerning oil tankers
- moon mod.I already use AIL's moon mod which is perfectly acceptable I was just curious if there were any others out there that may be even better?
- is there a mod that gives us back the translucency of the surface of the sea when submerged,like we got back in the stock game.What GWX3 did was make underwater pitch black and remove the 'watery' look from the surface.This is only a minor gripe though,I could never return back to the stock game.
- a more realistic torpedo 'impact' sound,instead of the unusual clatter of cutlery? that we got with GWX3.

Thats all for now.Could I finally just say,I would rather not hear from anyone that replies with comments like "have you even LOOKED through the downloads section?,man you are lazy!" ,yes I have,and this is a perfectly legitimate request.I would also like to keep this thread open in case I can think of any more as and when I decide I want them implemented in my game.

Many thanks

Thank you very much
I already have the torpedo damage final and the real depth charge mod,which I havent installed (wil wait until I return back to base from my current patrol).Does the real depth charge mod only affect the sound of a DC from inside the UBoat and not sounds of an actual detonating torpedo?
The torpedo explosion mod looks interesting.
Thanks again.

I did not use it with GWX so far, so I am not sure about an issue here. The rest should work fine.

Any recommendations for:

1 - a mod that gives more realistic rain.At night during a storm you can practically see,NOTHING! in reality rain would be almost invisible.
2 - a mod that makes the sun look better,less flat and with a distinct halo effect.

PLEASE NOTE
I would prefer the mods that just do the above and not alter the actual environment provided for us by the GWX team,I am generally pretty happy with how they look,although if the above mods can only be done by altering something else,then so be it.

Many thanks
