Map mod

Anyone know if there's a mod to turn the fairly silly game map into a proper naval chart with depth lines and numbers?

- was something everyone had during WW2.

What might be cool would be to have a fog-o-war style bathymetry where you only see the depth color variation added to the map if you are actively mapping it with your echosounder.

Id like this too, another thing I really miss is the u jagd from SH.

Yes, it is quite problematic to plan attacks and escapes when you have to wander your mouse all over the map to find the depths. I have a mod that improves accuracy of that at least, but would be wonderful to have a chart that shows it.

In those days, the only sea-floor areas that were pretty well documented, were coastal waters.
But outside the major traffic lanes, it was pretty much anyone's guess, apart from the spoken-word tales of "treacherous rocks just beneath the surface" stories etc.
