Thanks Den. Appreciate the reply. Maybe i will try RSRD and the Improved Enviroment mods to start. What's Maxoptics? Couldn't find anything on it.

Thanks again!

Gives you more zoom on your peri and tbt and binos very handy IMO.

Yeah play around with 1.5 and RSRD for abit get the feel of the game then move up the more advanced mods they are alot tougher.

Most of the mods are built for version 1.5. That's the U-Boat expansion. So, you do need the U-Boat expansion even if you're only going to run the American campaign.

I run TMO, RSRDC, OTC(Optical Targeting Correction), and Traveller's Mod.

So you're a SH3 GWX Veteran? Then download the Trigger Maru mod. If you want accurate battles and convoys you should download the Run Silent Run Deep Campaign mod that goes with it.

I have taken this mod out " Real Environment mod" it really messes with the weather.

High seas and fog all the way up to the Luzon Straits and beyond.

The weather has not changed since I started the game.

It does not look good either.

I had to take 3 merchants out close in with the deck gun in fog at minimum elevation.

All 3 were originally set up for a torpedo attack.

I could see them all but the periscope would not lock on with the sea swirling over the top.

Now what a difference with this mod out, much more natural looking weather that you would expect to see.

Yes I must agree these mods are GREAT for Pacific Operations.
