Download and try this mod : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171982

It will greatly improve your shadows, at a PC perf cost though...

The dynamic shadows of SH5 have some problems, one or two are fixable/adjustable, the blurry shadows problems are almost impossible to fix because in my opinion the code for the shadows have mistakes, and cannot be sorted out with resolution adjustments, the shift problem of the shadows (see below screen) in which the shadow is shifted about 30cm to the right is fixable

Yepp, that did the trick. Thanks again

Only one problem now. When the shadow is cast on lets say a person, that shadow can be seen on the other side of that person. Same thing on the sub. I put that mod last, and its not overwriting anything.

Strange...it seems i don't have this problem...only one man/object shadow at right place so far.

The only issue with SH5 shadows, is they don't take in account crew on deck, nor the sub flag.

Same thing on the conning tower. Can see the shadow on the dark side. Like the tower is made of thin paper.
I removed the mod and the problem was still there. I went in to dock first as well. Hmmmm...

I told you, the stock SH5 shadows errors are awful
