Questions from a n00b

Hi all,

I just recently had the itch to reinstall SH III. I forgot how much fun this game is. I love the graphics, the atmosphere, everything about it. I'm still learning the strategies though. I had a few questions about the inner workings of the game to get me started.

What method do you use for a torpedo attack? I used to bounce a lot of torpedoes before I found the sweet spot to attack from. I like to pull up close to a ship in front either on the surface or periscope depth and just kill the engines and wait for them to pass in front of me. If I can hit them broadside at 300-400m I almost never miss. Any closer and the torpedoes just bounce off.

Which of the realism settings add the most difficulty? I like using unlimited fuel, and the one that makes it easier to spot ships. I want to play at a higher realism setting once I get a little better. I've read that the difficulty settings affect the medals you earn. Do they have any effect on your renown?

Lastly, which mods do you guys recommend? I looked through some of them, but there are a bunch of them out there.

Great game though. I dig it.
