Some Advice, please!

Believe it or not, I'm yet to play SHIII as I've not had a rig capable of it!

That is about to be rectified (in a major way!), so....

There is an amazing collection of mods listed here. Could I get some advice on what your favourite combinations are (and why, if you've the time)? Would really value hearing comments and some suggestions.

FYI, my priorities are:

1. realistic ship/sub behaviour in terms of sailing model.
2. realistic damage (i.e. not crippled by a single DC 30m from me, and not needing four torps to sink an 8,000t merchant).
3. good graphics (my machine will be able to run anything....).
4. decent crew management (don't want to have to change things every 10 minutes!).
5. realistic escort performance - not uber, and not terminally stupid!
6. will probably use manual TDC but would like map to update positions real time (which I can then 'fix' on map and use positions to generate solutions manually).

I'm NOT concerned about things such as:

* harbours - I'm not interested in entering them.
* changing officer pics etc (unless they are a SIGNIFICANT improvement).

Realise I'm asking a lot, but would really appreciate people's views on the combinations they find most enjoyable and 'realistic'. If comments could be made in light of my 'wish list' above that would be ideal.

Thanks all!!
