Impossible to read a book while playing SHIII?

[KapiteinP]

Leute,

The more I play SHIII (with GWX), the lower my TC gets. Now I'm trying to play a career at max. 64 TC. But I'm experiencing a problem.

While playing at max 64 you have plenty of time doing other things, eg. reading a book. I think this is quite realistic while the WWII Kaleuns also did other things whilst being on patrol (like reading, listening to music, sleeping etcetera).

Of course it is very important that when you're not totally concentrated on the SHIII screen, you are accurately informed about certain events like a message about a nearby convoy, a warning for radar detection, crew fatigue causing the engines to stop and so on. Problem in SHIII is that when these things happen you get a warning message only on screen. What I need is some officer yelling at me when something tends to go / goes wrong.

Is there a mod that can solve this problem? For clarity: I want a visual and an audible warning when a 'Funkmesssingnale' is intercepted, a nearby convoy is reported, a ship is heard by the sonar guy. Just like in case of a spotted ship or airplane.

I hope my problem is understandable and there's a mod for it. Also I'd like to hear other stories of people who play at low TC and how they do not get bored. Thanks in advance!
