I would like to thanks these people because I used some parts of their mods: HanSolo (W.A.C.), VonDos (many ships), Ahnenerbe, Ericlea and Makman94 for their graphical mods (ARB WideGui 1920*1080, M.E.P. v.6); thanks also to all the authors of the ships I have used and a special thank to Chinese U-47! Thanks also to Eric Navas for the great pics (from Istagram).
if you feel like I wronged you by using some of your elements and you would like them removed from the mod please let me know.
if i have used your work but did not credit you, please let me know.

INSTALLATION

A) you need a clear copy of SH3 v1.4 installed on your pc;
B) delete the two folders into “…data/SingleMission” (“English” and “German”); it's because the single stock missions are not compatible with surface-mod;
C) copy the surface sub-mods into Generic Mod Enabler “MODS” folder.
D) open “5_ARB_res_1920x1080 – 2.5.2” and follow the instructions on “instructions.txt”;
E) set compatibility to “SH3.exe”:



F) patch “sh3.exe” with “4gb_patch.exe”.

MOD AND SUB-MOD

A) First of all enable “1_Surface Mod 2.5.2”;



B) enable sub-mods based on the type of campaign you want to play (CHOOSE ONLY ONE!!!): (now only Regia Marina)

- 2a_Regia Marina-Surface Mod 2.5.2
VIIB = BB Littorio;
VIIC = CA Fiume;
IXB = CL Duca degli Abruzzi (with torpedoes).

- 2b_Kriegsmarine-Surface Mod - 2.5.2
VIIB = BB Bismark;
IXB = DKM Admiral Scheer (with torpedoes);
IXC = DKM Scharnhorst (with torpedoes).
IXD2 = DKM Lutzow (with torpedoes).

- 2c_X°_MAS-Surface Mod - 2.5.2
IXB = RN Orsa (with torpedoes);
IXC = RN Curtatone (with torpedoes).
XXI = M.A.S. (with torpedoes).

- 2d_Raider-Surface Mod
IXD2 = HSK 4 Thor (with torpedoes).

C) Activate “3_Single_Mission” if you only want to play single missions. Remember to disable if you want to play campaign.

D) “4_black contact” if you want... black contacts only on navigation map.

E) at this point you MUST activate “5_ARB_res_1920x1080 - 2.5.2”.

START CAREER

(I recommend trying a few single missions before tackling a campaign)

Choose the year and in which fleet you want to start.

Fleets are:
Kiel and Wilhelmshaven 39-45
St.Nazaire and Lorient 40-44
Bergen 40-45
La Spezia and Taranto 40-43
Memel 42-45

You can choose the ship that you prefer from the start. You can also add the crew but be careful: there must be no icons in the flack gun or deck gun. If there are any, dismiss them, move the icons from the “electric engine room” to the “Stern Torpedo room” and than add new crew.

GAMEPLAY

If your warship has torpedo tubes, you will automatically be equipped with TXI (acoustic guidance), which have different ranges depending on the sub-mod you are using. They start looking for their target after 2 km of straight.



There are only front tubes so it is necessary to assign the crew only on the "bow tubes":

What I did, I did it myself, so please be good in your comments

English is not my language so try to understand me

Constructive comments / suggestions / criticisms are welcome.

This mod is and must remain free. You are all authorized right now to use it, modify it, embellish it or .... delete it from your Hds.

What I don't allow is to reupload it without my permission.

@Ahnenerbe, @Ericlea and @Makman94: I'm not that experienced in using graphics software and I don't know much about menu_ini. If you want to help me ...

Thanks for reading,

Itadriver

KNOW BUGS

A) You must be on a base to save the mission!!!! (otherwise C.T.D. will occur when you will load).

B) There must be a maximum of seven icon in Flack Guns. Leave empty the last (8th) icon (otherwise a C.T.D. may occur).



C) Do not use time compression greater than 128 while entering / exiting a base (otherwise a C.T.D. may occur). I recommend turning off the radar before entering a port

D) Before opening MISSION EDITOR disable the video resolution sub-mods “5_ARB_res_1920x1080 - 2.5.2”. If the mission editor has a black screen, close it, delete "d3d9.dll" and "d3d9.ini" from the root folder (SH3) and try again.

it is not possible to increase the crew because, even those who are not involved in the repairs, contribute to the repair of the compartment in which they are located. This renders "death by flood" ineffective.
