possible for the forced wind isue you have mentioned please
forget this ...

Adding 'fake' wind is easy to do. The problem lies with it not being realistic by any means. You could have a ship on a heading of 90 with a wind direction from 00 @ 12 knots (blowing south) and if I forced fake wind that always blew to the port side of the ship then you'd still have smoke blowing to the port side even though we have winds from 00 @ 12 knots. How realistic would that be? Currently the 'straight up' is the best compromise for realism. I have not abandoned trying to make it wind affected.

All you have mentioned of the FX above , and if possible
cause do know if it is, some waves movement around the sinking ships!

As for the wind I was calling on your expertise to get that done,
cause I understood a previouse post from you about the fake wind
and unrealistic aproach of it!

I trust your hands!

1) Ship and sub reflections are handled in their respective .dat files (normally)

Sorry, I don't have much experience with the SH3/4 file structure (I am a consumate JSGMEer). I also apologize if this is slightly off topic, but you seem like a knowlegable bunch and I figured it would be an easy answer. I guess what I'm asking is this:

What mod do I need to get those killer player U-boat reflections (what's the most popular mod?) and is it compatable with the SH4 effects porting that Raceyboy is developing here?

Well, after four more days of storms, I see a C&D which I thought would make a nice bang. It did and I think I have seen some of the new effects. Unfortunately all my good sinkings were before I installed the mod. Think I will have to wait until the next tour as I only have three torpedos left. Ah well, ah well.

C&D

What you're probably looking for is Reece's SHIV scene for SH3:

This will enhance the reflections and all. It is fully compatible with what I am developing here.
