I do miss OLC's GUI from SH3 in SH4. Then again there is no length in the recon books

They're easier to add than you think. I already made one for TMO (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153143), but anyone can do it for any mod in less than an hour.

GO to the \Silent Hunter 4\Data\Sea\ folder and edit the cfg file in each folder (where applicable). For example let's look at the G:\Silent Hunter 4\Data\Sea\NAPD_Clemson\NAPD_Clemson.cfg file:


[Unit]
ClassName=APDClemson
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NAPD_Clemson/NAPD_Clemson
UnitType=103
MaxSpeed=22
Length=95
Width=9.4
Mast=11.5824
Draft=3.1
Displacement=1190
RenownAwarded=120
CrewComplement=50
SurvivalRate=70
SurvivalPercentage=20

In the MaxSpeed you can add anything you want. For example:
MaxSpeed=22 Length 95m

You can also change the text of the "Speedxx kts" label that appears in the recog manual. Check that above link for more details.
