Description
This collection aims to bring max realism and immersion to your U-BOAT career that game and mods can offer.

Intended to be a challenge and to simulate realities of men that fought those battles, this list is suggested for 100% realism level on game and FPP mode only activated. I separated "hardcore" mods from the others to let everyone decide what level of difficult you want to face. Cosmetics and other mods fill the gap for immersion needs, aimed to integrate with FPP mode to let you really feel those leaks and "wasser bomben" around.

Herr kaleun, no more bullsh*t allowed!
--> a big big thanks to all mods authors for their efforts and time!


------------
NOTES
------------

* will keep updated while always try to keep it working with latest stable patch.

* you should start the game with the mods ordered as you see on the list below.

* keep in mind to remove other mods not listed here (if not cosmetics or compatible ones), game is only tested for these mods with latest patch, 100% realism settings and FPP only.

* you can directly subscribe to all the collection mods.

* do an integrity file check from steam

* remove all files inside "Data Sheets" and "Cache" folders. Folders are located at "AppData\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT", not the ones on your steam folder!

* be sure to order mods loading as per the list below, starting from DEPENDENCIES till DEBUG. You can do that by the MODS tab when launching the game, but I also suggest to do it from steam game panel (workshop).

* about the mods list, focus of this pack is realism and immersion. DEPENDENCIES and REALISM mods are required (you can still remove something if you want, but is your responsibility), GAMEPLAY section is not needed but offer more immersion and realism editing specific or general gameplay mechanics. COSMETICS, AUDIO, RADIO and DEBUG are highly suggested but not mandatory. Of course you can disable the DEBUG one, is just needed for tests or to understand when something broken while playing.

* when starting for the first time, it may take a while. Lot of data to load and cache. Things will be fine then.

* start a new career and enjoy it. Again, suggestion is for Hardcore - Expert - 100% realism settings and FPP mode only but up to y'all sailors.

* check mods pages for now to understand features and new mechanics if you don't know what's going on here. Will try to add some infos and detail on each one here anyway.


------------
KNOWN ISSUES
------------

* custom campaigns added to the game (not the vanilla ones) are not working and are not supported for now by this collection. Vanilla campaigns are working perfectly for now.
