Where do you start?

Hey,
I have some more questions so rather than start a new thread I figured I'd just necro my old one.

1. I've been playing under the assumption that the wind direction given in weather reports is the direction it's coming FROM as in, "Wind 15 m/s Direction 90" means it's blowing FROM the east TO the west. Then I realized I don't actually know. Is this correct or is it the other way around?

2. (Stock SH3) Does the game take changing weight into account when calculating how the boat behaves? For example, does a boat that has emptied all its torpedos use less fuel than a boat with a full load? Or does it make no difference?

3. Just out of curiosity, is there a mod or a small hack to allow you to run electric on the surface? Or for that matter, have more engine control in general like only running on one diesel, etc.

4. Are there any crew control mods? I know this is going to sound pretty lazy but is there any way to assign crews to groups and move them as such? Rather than dragging them one at a time? I generally have my crew divided up into "shifts" so that when one whole section gets fatigued I just exchange them for the other "shift". It would be nice to be able to move and exchange a whole section at once rather than have to drag and drop one at a time. I know this is kind of ridiculous but if there is some mod that can do this I'd like to know about it.

That's all I can think of right now.

BTW I've settled on 82% realism. I still use weap officer assistance to hit anything and I like map contact updates.
