Stock sh3 have several issues that need to be fixed by mods.
I don't like many aspect of stock game, a huge Sea folder is needed to force you to make real tactics to found course and speed, like stand longer and check to pair course or 4 bearing.
H.sie fixes are needed, it's irrational that developer doesn't fores correct that heavy bugs

Just ran my first patrol in at least 5 years 100% vanilla. 6 sunk, 26k tonnage. I forgot what a PIA crew fatigue is. I'm trying to organize an attack and 1/2 the crew are napping in quarters. The watch officer never reports to the bridge unless I drag his butt up there.

You have to use H.sie's mod to get the watch officer off his arse.

I only ever played sh3 in stock or vanilla version.
There are a few bugs I've uncovered over the last 7 years but I have figured out how to deal with or ignore them.
I have had no complaints about how the escorts behavior is simulated, as I have faced all sorts of enemies and situations, from rank amateurs to the highly skilled and determined.
I'm just not savvy enough to go for all the mega mods and upgrades, and am happy enough to have a program that launches and runs when I want it to.
So far, I have fixed the torpedo loadout bug, by selecting each torpedo in turn, choosing the type it already is, and then double clicking on the type I want. Load the mission, press I and see that it worked.
Like I said, 7 years on, found some minor bugs, but not enough to bring the game to a grinding halt.

I love the vanilla version. It works!! The original is a masterpiece if you ask me. In March of 1942 now.

I'm thinking about it, as I never really played the game without mods..

Thats how I consistentily play it -- stock SH3 and currently mid 42 bound for NA.

Usually start with a 7b Flot II transfer to Flot 1 when I can, stay with a 7C until fall '41 then upgrade to 9C in time for Drumbeat, then back to 7C mid '43 until I cheat a bit and modify the config txt file to give me enough renown to buy a XXI, which I finish with.
