Description
My preferred selection of realism, difficulty, immersion and QoL mods.

No gods eye view or anything of the sort, you will need to edit the datasheets for the compass QOL mod if you want to remove the compass (you might do) otherwise keep it as is and you can use the HUD compass for basic course plotting if the real navigation is proving tricky.
Personally I like to play in fpp only without hardcore aiming, often I can be quicker than the AI but I'm not letting the weps officer cruise by without putting some actual work in.

You can also adjust the settings of various mods like the speed boost from removing the deck gun, variability of the speed of ships, hud compass position, air consumption by the crew and probably a few others I forgot to mention, check the individual mods to see if they offer additional configuration options.

For a general idea of mod load order follow the excellent Uboat expanded installation guide by Godess Bhavani here https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2903719631

Please comment on any incompatibilities you may find.

Start a new save and enjoy.
