1. Use JSGME just google it.

2. Use JSGME.

3. I would say TMO or if you wanna try a surface ship mod.

4. Put JSGME in your program files Ubistoft folder then create a folder called MODS it must be capitalized the start JSGME do not worry about the first part click next and put your mods in the folder you named MODS and use JSGME to enable/disable them.

5.TMO 2.2 requires TMO 2.0 just install it AFTER TMO 2.0 and when it says would you like to overwrite click YES.

I concur. Just be sure you get the TMO compatible version.

[I'm goin' down]

For mod links start in the Popular Mods Sticky in the Mods forum.

I suggest GFO (Game Fixes Only), which is a mega mod designed for adding compatible mods to the stock game.

The major mods are TMO, RFB, FOTRS and GFO. RSRDC is compatible with TMO and RFB and version RSRDC 1.4 is compatible with GFO. RSRDC simulates the routes of Japanese TFs and Convoys. It is quite accurate.

For targeting and evasion aids, see the Skippers Bag of Tricks sticky.

The 3D TDC and Radar Range, and the OTC (Optical Targeting Correction) mods are sophisticated mods for manual targeting. If you don't select those, use the Easy Aob mod.

The toughest game out there by far is TMO2.2 combined with with OTC when you elect manual targeting and utilize OTC's real scopes (optional) and Toyyko's Revenge (optional) features. The dds in TMO are tough, but the enemy in TMO with the options selected above will kill you.

If you are ready to blow your mind after the above, go the MOBO forum and download aaronblood's MOBO program.

Definitely get T.M.O. !!! Plus do yourself a favor and add Optical Targeting Correction, it will help your experience in the patrols you undertake!

OTC works with TMO 2.0/2.2, but not TMO2.5 as of the date of this post. CapnScurvy, the creator of OTC, has indicated that he is working on a version compatible with 2.5.

If you want to go to the dark side, OM is a very fine mod.

I have OTC loaded with TMO2.5 and it works just fine!

Bandit, you must be lucky. The OTC introductory thread states,

"OTC for TMO 2.2
September, 2011

This edition of OTC is compatible with "Trigger Maru 2.0" and it's "TMO update 20_to_22" mods. These two mods must be activated in JSGME before the "OTC for TMO 2.2" mod."

The thread does not mention TMO 2.5. I would be surprised if your mod combination is totally accurate, but CapnScurvy should know.
