If I may ... and I may be wrong here but bear with me.

I think the best mod you can use is the mod of forgetfulness.

Realize we have knowledge from the history books on what the sailors of these boats went through. They got to experience life on a boat & report & eventually learn for example that the fish did not detonate properly.

They had to go through multiple hard learned lessons by experience where we only had to read about them. We read, we improvise. Hence, the best mod is the mod of forgetfulness.

I too have not played for quite some time & realize as I came back just a couple weeks ago that I remember to shoot the fish perpendicular to the targeted ship as close to 90 degrees as possible & to shoot shallow for a proper detonation using impact as I remember reading that magnetic never really worked in the early days. So yeah, I'm going to rack up tonnage really quickly. The original sailors didn't learn this for quite some time in their patrols.

I remember reading of some patrols where they left port with 10+ fish & fired all of them with only a single detonation.
Now perhaps the mods are designed to replicate this but I've read that a year or two later the sailors learned to hit more directly & shallow so I include this practice in my early tours. So I'm cheating in relation to history as I've read the history.

We also get the comfort of sitting in our lazy-boy's & eating pretzels. We are not experiencing the smells, the manual labor, the exhaustion & cramped quarters, the mundane endless water, the drills & stresses of living on a boat for days on end.

So keep this in mind when driving your boat & don't try so hard to get tonnage in the early days of the war. Enjoy the boat as much as you can while sitting in the comfort of your favorite chair munching on Oreo's & Dorito's.
