Description
UPDATED: July 29, 2022

These are the mods I play with 9.9/10 times.

I recommend familiarizing yourself with the mods in the list prior to activation.

Some of these are optional mods that increase simulation quality and difficulty:
- Realistic navigation
- UBOAT Expanded (UBE)
- Iron Coffins
- Nerved Deckgun
- etc.

Some should be used at your own risk:
- UBOAT Expanded (can cause issues with lower-end systems - 16GB of RAM is required)
- Make sure to use Sinking Physics Overhaul Beta and NOT Sinking Physics Overhaul - it's only in the list for archival purposes

This collection is well tested and I haven't encountered any significant game breaking issues. As such, and to my knowledge, all mods in the collection are compatible.

A new save is REQUIRED after subscribing to all the mods in the collection.

Any mods in this collection listed as B128, B129 or later are tested and compatible with the latest version of B131 - the mod author simply hasn't updated the workshop page and the mod manifest.

All credit goes to the respective authors. Make sure to donate to the creators you appreciate the most. They truly deserve a pat on the back.

Questions, bug reports, feedback and concerns should be directed to the mod's author - this helps improve the mods.

Enjoy.
