4) Crew members not reading a book when the boat is under depth charges lol



Recently a lot of mods have been making the game look better (which is fantastic) but it is mods that make it play better that are needed in my opinion.

My question is : what do you personally think should be the modding community's priority and main focus now?

1. Crew management is now automatic. I did like moving additional crew into compartment to repair and reduce flooding in SH3. But i guess thats not my job as a captain.

2. I haven't seen anything game-breaking from the AI, since installing IRAI. IRAI seams to have greatly improved the AI.

3. KIA. Yes this would add to the realism. And I would like this to be added. But is not a priority for me. I could also see problems from this, as the crew are part of a story and if one of them dies, then you could not progress through the story. I could happily play without the crew being able to die.

4. Not a major for me. I very rarely see this as I'm usually in the control room during depth charge attacks.

What you have listed..... in my opinion are minor problems.

The main focus should be :-

Getting additional Merchant ships into the game. I'm getting tired of sinking the same ships all the time.
I know modders are working on this, and I hope that they are successful.

Some other things that are needed, that I would place above your list, would be :-

wet weather gear for watch crew.
additional uboats.... (type II plz.)

I'm playing the game at 100% realism and have these mods installed :-
