Thanks - its just too true with PC games lately

So, since there are just so many interesting looking mods out there, anyone have a recommendation for a few compatible ones to use?

I am using ver 1.5 with the Uboat addon.

Basically my most desired change is the watter ripple bug - it really bothers the hell out of me. But enhanced realism, missions, depth charges that sound like they are actually blowing up under water

, etc, would interest me. I like my simulations to be pretty close to the real thing.

I think most people here play either TMO+RSRDC or RFB+RSRDC. I happen to use RFB, but that isn't a slam against TMO. I like the game to be about as realistic as possible. Unfortunately, there are limits to what can be changed here. For me deviations in the historical campaign are not too bad, but the physics being messed up really bothers me.

Most of the late versions of the mods are for v1.5, so you're all set. Also, make sure you get the JSGME mod enabler to install them. It will save you a lot of trouble.

TMO, Tiger Maru Overhaul, RFB, Real Fleet Boats and FOTRS Fall of the rising Sun. are the most popular super mods. They fix many many things about the game and are really the only way to go. Better graphics, game play,user interface, etc. You really need one of them to enjoy the game.

GFO Game Fix Only is for the stock game and fixes a lot of problems.

TMO (emphasis on more challenging game play) and RFB (more a realism mod)are the most popular. All three are very good and what you play is more a personal preference. Best to try them all. With JSGME they are easy to change out.

RSRDC Run Silent Run Deep the Campaign changes the convoy and task forces to very realistic levels. All the big battles and convoys are matched to the real events. If you use this best study up on the big navel battles. Can be used with the other supermods.

I use TMO with or without RSRD. Just depends on how you like to play.

Thanks all. Right now I am running TMO and RSRDC, and I enjoy the changes, especially to the atmosphere. Better ambient sounds, depth charge sounds, and viscous destroyers.

The one thing that remains to be fixed for me however, is the water issue. It is FAR less noticeable with these mods due to the smoothing and recoloring of water, darkening of the night, etc, but the verticies defining the edges of the waters peaks and shallows still jiggle with the camera a bit.

Maybe its my ATI video cards, or bad luck, don't know.

Certainly a better game for the changes.

Just have to check out RFB and Monsun to see what else is out there.

I had very much that same problem and just lived with it.
By brother-in-law had a vid card he couldn't use and sent it to me.
An older 9800GT fixed things right up.

Improver FPS as well.
Newer ATI cards seem to run the game just fine from what I've heard.

Yes, It looks as though you might be able to fix that issue by playing with the various graphic enhancements that are in the checkboxes. I fixed a few by turning on and off things like 'Volumous Fog', 'detailed wave ripples', '3D ship wakes'. It took quite a few tries before I found out just how many of these things were needed to get the look I wanted and to get rid of some of the bugginess. I too have an ATI card in my desktop and it's a great card. I found that I got more results playing around with the game graphics. By the way, I get an effect through the periscope like you're describing exept that it's the land that does it, and it's not often. Anyway, Good Luck and Good Hunting
