You might want to give OM a try

I have played them all. TMO, RFB, FOTRS and GFO are all really good. (My preference is TMO, primarily because the AI of the dds. I have a death with.) But I started playing OM, with OMEGU and KIUB on top of it, and I have concluded it is the best supermod out there. Several things about it are really quite cool. You have to learn how to use the TDC for U-Boats. It has different characteristics than the American Subs. Like RSRDC, lurker, who created both, has outdone himself. He has a variety of alternative careers to choose from. He intentionally does not ID targets, so you have to check each target's flag to see if it an enemy of the Germany. Enemies of the Reich are different in 1939 than in 1941, so sinking a neutrel does not do anything for you in terms of promotions, renown, etc. The crew set up is different and has to be deciphered as it is in German, although you can set up the mod to use English with some English labels for the TDC items. Manual targeting with the KIUB dial in different and interesting to figure out. There are a variety of torpedoes, and one has a mine laying capability. The deck gun crew can actually hit something. In some missions, you can activate the Luftwaffe to help locate targets. Everything else in the mod is first rate. A few mods fill in some gaps.

You can play the American side with this mod, which I have not yet tried. And if you do, you can activate a version of RSRDC. This makes OM the best of both worlds.

If you have the game set up using PTO, use multi SH4 to set up and run OM, etc. Then you can try it without deactivating the PTO set up. There is a learning curve, so be patient.
