New to SH4, should I mod?

Thanks for the advice.

Be prepared. TMO is notorious for being rough on new skippers. It does not pull any punches at all. I also agree with the other recommendations that you play stock until you are comfortable with the SH4 engine. Yes, the AI suffers from "short attention span syndrome" and the missions are wonky, but it will allow you to ease into the game. TMO will not hesitate to kill you after making the slightest mistake. I am just now trying TMO after three years of SH3+GWX+SHCommander, SH4+RFB and SH5+TDW Mod Soup. I am having no real issues with TMO, but it would have mauled me as a new captain.

I can attest to that. When I had bought SH4 I did some research and only played one stock campaign mission as practice before downloading TMO. I died about 15 time before I ever actually completed a single patrol.(Though the first 3 were caused by me not realizing that you can click the depth gauge so you can go lower then a 165 feet.)
