This is, I think, the most useful of all the mods for SH3. It enables evasion of aircraft from 1943-5; very difficult without it.

Concerning retirement of commanders:
Yes, they could be promoted out of their sea jobs, and nearly all took the option. But you could insist on staying at sea (just as a soldier could insist on the right to fight on the Russian front). Naturally, not many took the option on sea or land. In late 1944 a very senior officer of BdU, Kpt zS Dobratz, demanded the right to quit BdU and conduct one cruise in a Type IX. He wanted the sea experience for career reasons, survived the patrol, and returned to BdU. There remains a photograph of an exhausted Dobratz on the conning tower of his battered and rusty boat when it returned to port. (Can't show the photo for copyright reasons.)
