so i'm a sh5 noob working on the british supplies mission at the beginning of the campaign. i've had some really good luck and the info/tutorials on the site have helped a ton. here's my problem, though..

initially, with only two mods (Real Environment - Rev. 3 and TDW's fx mod) i had no issues. here's what i'm running now.

the problem is that the detection range for enemy shipping has dropped off to a few hundred meters, so that even while running on the surface in broad daylight in clear weather i am unable to see contacts until they are dangerously close. this has led to more than a few tense dives when escorts popped up out of nowhere at 1200m, but actually ramming an escort (after dropping out of time compression, the thing was so close that i didn't even have time to hit the x1 button..) was the last straw.

also, post modding i am having some issues controlling my dives. when i call for periscope depth it isn't unusual for the sub to drop down to 20m or more before resurfacing slowly to ~12, and every "dive" dive seems to be an uncontrollable crash dive until i give the "surface" command, at which point the dive levels off and i regain some kind of control over depth setting. (i have to leave the command on "surface" or "periscope depth" in order to retain this control, though.. if i switch back to the "dive" command it's crash dive time again..)

i'm guessing these are known issues but as is typical for most forums, the search function here is worthless. could anyone point me in the right direction for a fix? i'm just going to pull the mods til i can sort this out. thanks a bunch!
