Interested in 1.5 from a US perspective only.

There are new textures for the Pacific boats. Performance of the game has improved. My game has gotten more stable also. New icons for your activites when patrolling. Keep in mind the two major mods for 1.4 are basically not going to be supported anymore for 1.4. RSRD is going to 1.5 as well. Lurker said it was just to much work to handle both 1.4 and 1.5. With that in mind, most if not all will be migrating to 1.5 with modding. Furthermore, there are modders working on a Atlantic campaign for the uboats. Last, purchase the game and help support the genre' so we all can enjoy this type of simulation down the road.

You can see the new icons in the upper righthand corners. These are a reminder of what your orders are or what your sub is doing. These are clickable as well. Overall, a much better visual impact then the original. The best part for me was the performance enhancement.

Don't forget the much better equipment and torpedo screens. Finally you get descriptions to both torps and equipment. Makes life so much easier.

Do what I did. Get the Add On. Install TMO, and ignore the U Boats until a full Atlantic campaign is available.

I think this is the best advice I've seen and when I actually get time to get on my computer at home (probably this weekend) I will be doing just what you said.

Yeah...that probably is good advice. When playing a U-Boat based in Penang I got a mission to deliver supplies to Manila. Manila? Is there a German embassy or consulate there short on sauerkraut? I just dunno....

I think this is the main reason to get it even if you aren't planning on doing the U-baot part. Think of it as a mod upgrade.

And it loads a lot faster on my machine as well.
