New to site, and I have a few questions.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I have the 1.4 patch on my game and the only mod I have is the "Real Clothes" one. It just seemed strange seeing everyone in perfect uniforms all the time. If I go for one of the major mods, should I start a new carreer, or should it work OK in my current one?

Acquire the U-boat missions add-on. It's payware, but it's worth it. It bumps the game up to the 1.5 version, which most of the mods use these days.

If you're installing a major mod, I'd suggest restarting a career. It might work, but it might not. Don't take the chance.

Oh well, looks like everything has been covered. Welcome to the PTO, Vaux.

If you are in a Porpoise,Salmon, or Sargo class sub on the early war versions the night periscope and the attack periscope are on different levels and the night scope is shorter and lower in the sub so when you want to use the night periscope you'll need to go to about 49 or 50 ft to use it because the sub goes to a depth for the attack scope.Or you can use the periscope in the conning tower(attack scope raised/lowered by page/up page down) in stead of the one in the control room(night/observation scope raised/lowered by insert/delete)

Get 1.5 and go for some mods. Have fun out there.

@Stealhead: I figured that very thing out about the periscopes when playing last night. I was on the bridge, looking around and noticed the hole for the observation scope near the base of the tower, but didn't see the hole for the attack scope. I raised both scopes and noticed the attack scope went higher. Doh! One more difference from the S boat I started with!

I've seen the 1.5 add-on on Ebay for around 5-6 dollars. I think the old sailing kitty budget can handle that!

I think I'm going to see where my current carreer takes me before I put on a major mod. Whenever it ends, either on VJ day, or some earlier date, deep in the briney, I'll stick this one out as-is.

I've been doing a little reading on the Trigger Maru Overhauls and the Real Fleet Boat mods... is there one that's generally preferred over another?

That's probably a smart move.
Get a good feel for the game before you throw a major mod at it.

RFB vs TMO.
Which is preferred?
Depends on who you ask.

In all seriousness they are both very good.
And are both well liked and respected on his forum.

You may need to do what I did.
I used a little tool called 'Multi SH4'. Lets you run more than one install.
I used one for RFB and one for TMO, and ran a few patrols in each before making my final decision.

But you got a career to do before you get to that point.
Enjoy mate

@Sergei: Cheers, mate, and thanks for the advice!
