Essential Mods

Hello everyone,

Firstly let me break the rules by immediately going off topic on my own thread and saying a massive hello, this is my first post of many in this community.
I would also like to say a thank for all the help you gave me when playing SH3 although you never knew it, i was lurking silently in the background reading your forums and gleening hints and tips from you all

Ok now back on topic.

I played SH3 for a while. years ago and really liked but the world of MMO's pulled me away and i started playing Lord of the Rings Online.
A week ago whilst trawling through Amazon.co.uk i come across a copy of SH5 for a few pound and was suddenly transported back to my SH3 days and in a moment of nostalgia bought it.
It arrived a few days ago and after the initial shock at seeing the massive changes that have occured in my absence i was immediately sucked back into the SH world.
Now i know these games are never perfect upon launch, in fact it can often take several years to get them ship shape, this is part of the appeal for me strangely enough. I also know that you hard working people put a lot of time, effort and love into making fantastic mods etc to improve the game for everyone else.

So here is my question and the reason for this thread.

What, in your expert opinion, are the essential mods for Silent Hunter 5 and why?

Now i know its based on personal preference and game play style.
Well i dont exactly play on the most realistic settings, in fact if it creeps up beyond 30 % im bricking it. I do however like beautiful graphics, additional missions, history and atmosphere, (i remember a mod years ago which would allow you to listen to actual radio broadcasts on your radio as and when they happened if you tuned in on the correct dates - things like that are right up my alley!).
Oh and something to stop the crew spinning around when im talking to them would be nice.

Thanks

Brodie.
