Returning to SHIII....what are the "must-haves"?

The two leading mods are
Real U Boat (RUB) and
Improved Uboat (IUB)

Personnlly i prefer to mod my game with several submods to mix and match the game to my taste. Theres usually some minor detail about large mods that i dislike, so i make my own.

If i were to bare bone mod the game i think id grab:

-DC_20 (real depth charge). Although as of late, id just use the depth charge mod portion of it, and not use the AI_sensor.dat file taht comes with it. Escorts are really dumb in the vanilla game, they dont need any help being dumber.

- Hollywood damage 2.0
Makes for more realistic repairs in your boat so your not instakilled. You can recover from things you woudlnt otherwise recover from. That and it adds cool effects.

-Time travllers Depth moding tool.
here id change all my subs depth from stock and edit the cfg files so i can run decks awash. Along with this, id grab the 400 meter depth guage mod located on subsims d/l section

-IMPROVED CONVOYS!
This is a biggie, Using this mod has signficantly improved my gameplay. Stock convoys are a joke.

Those are the core gameplay changes id make

The rest are just graphical ones.
-Pascals foam, smoke and splash
- FUBAR's sub skins (their the best, get em)
- sea floor and sky mods, light houses, etc etc
