Introduction and questions?

Hi I just wanted to introduce myself as I am new to the subsim forums, i actually just learned of them from the Silent Hunter V facebook page from a guy (I believe is a member named John Hamm) who had posted about the evils of DRM in Silent Hunter V.

Funny I have been playing the Silent Hunter series since Silent hunter III, and I bought Silent Hunter IV when it came out but I never new this forum and all of it's great mods were here!!

So at any rate Since I have been playing the Vanilla version of Silent Hunter IV for so long i was looking forward to trying this Real Fleet Boat Mod and the Environmental Mod5 are these good? and also is there a mod to decrease the amount of bad weather that you experience? (or is it just me?) but it seems that on a 30 day patrol only 5 days are good weather. Though I actually never see storm just rough seas and dark skies.

Oh and one other thing on the aspect of realism did the sub skippers actually have a book that they used that allowed them to judge the distance of a boat based on mast height? as in the game, or did they use some other message, I just can't find anywhere where is discusses that they could send some ship type into the TDC and it account for height and distance on it's own like it does in the game.

Thank you guys for all of your help in advance,
