Yeah, I was going to suggest the link that he suggested, but I also agree to go with the stock game first. The mods can be a nightmare, it is no simple task to do the way they are set up in my opinion. Especially if you have never installed mods that way before.

I played the stock game and downloaded all kinds of mods but ended up crashing the game a lot and honestly the mods were just too much. I may slowly add some of them back but I just went back to the stock game with 2 minor mods on 100% realism.

Stock game is a nightmare

I was thinking of playing the Tutorial (If there is one?) on stock then after that maybe install a few mods.

Is this ok to do?, or do you need to install mods before starting a new game

Thanks

No.. there isn't..
The stock tutorial is a joke of devs..

Better way to have a look at the Trevally's tutorials - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177725
These tutorials require the interface mod installation - NewUIs *** by TheDarkWraith - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093

Honestly I have not found the stock game on 96% (I have external view on for the moment to see where my torpedos go) realism to be all that bad. It was kind of hard to figure out how to play the game at first but I caught on quick enough.

I am about to finish total Germany and the only things that I have run in to as problems is once I was ran over by a merchant while at periscope depth and it did no damage to me other than push my ship sideways. After the initial shock of it because I heard it and looked right and saw nothing but the front of a ship and it scared the fire out of me. I went to external and saw that he was just pushing me sideways and I was able to dive and get out of it with no damage done.

Another thing I ran in to last night was if I dived below 100 or so, my ship would not maintain the depth and would drop to 150, and it wouldn't rise unless I was going half speed, or about 5 knots I think it was. I haven't tried this but a couple of times but that seemed to be what happened both times.

I read that the range finder was inaccurate but have gotten used to where I need to put it to get pretty close for the ranges. Like on the liberty merchants I put the bottom of the ship at the cross section that is near the top of that mast, and have gotten good results on hits from that.

I downloaded DarkWraiths mods and honestly I had more problems with that than with the stock game. Not to throw stones at the mod, it is probably fantastic I just need to spend more time with it and I am waiting for a CD version of the game before I try it anymore. Game kept crashing with it probably because I bought the steam version, hence waiting for the CD version to arrive.

But I do not find the stock game as bad as everyone says. I have found the stock version to be really fun and enjoyable, the best I have played on any sub sim.
