I had asked about SH5 historical accuracy & Scap Flow a couple weeks ago ... I had no idea OHII and all the great mods by sober and TDW existed ... a couple weeks later (fresh install, new soup, and a some appreciated help getting going), and it was wicked fun ...
I played it out two nights in a row back to back ....
I used these as a rough guide:

No CTDs at all, went perfect ... very challenging for 1st timer ....
A couple guys who helped me get it all going correctly said I should post some screens, I hope you guys don't mind!
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go ....
I didn't hit any of these thanks to advice to stay on surface!
The mines & nets are great .. I got hung up once on a cable or something .. had to use full reverse ... A car or truck shined it's lights on us, but must not have seen ...
Better submerge just in case, now that we're past the narrows ...
"Navi ... Come over here for a minute ... I want to talk to you ..... Listen ... If - you - tell - me - we're - in - shallow *%$# waters - just - ONE - MORE - TIME .... I'm throwin' you off the *%$# boat right here, right now ... "
"We are in shallow waters my captain ... "
Entering the flow, we sneak north hugging land until we see the cap ship ... Finally in range!
Salvo causes phantasmagorical results
Sound guys says we have a couple on the move heading in ...
We give em' one each in the nose .. they actually ran into em'!
Another Ship moving in? Head On?
Another one in the nose .. ran right into it
All clear, lets get outta here
