Welcome to the boat mate.

Your English isn't that bad, quit good really.

Uninstall the mod you're using.

Go to the main SH4 folder and open it.
Scroll down to the mods folder and open it.
Scroll down to the mod you are using and open. (TMO)
scroll down to the Data folder and open.
scroll down to the Menu folder and open.
Scroll down to the Gui folder and open.
There is a file there called ContLine.DDS
Just change the name to something like ContLineX.dds
I use a name change like this so if I want to undo it I just find the file with an X.

You'll have the tails back.

Magic

Edit I missed the Menu folder, just added it.

I use a fine point number 2 pencil with a clean eraser. Oh yeah, I make sure I don't press down too hard on my active matrix screen also.

Welcome abored. After a little playing you don't want the tails. Trust me. They offer too much information and too much information makes the game a bore. Use the pencil on nav map and put an x on the target. Let it move for a while and put an x on it again. Combine the two x's with the ruler, and you will know more than any tail can ever tell you. This procedure is called 'plotting', and this is how the real sub commanders operated, when they tried to figure out a firing solution.
