I'm wary of most mods, but I gotta admit, these smoke effects are mighty impressive. What's the cost in performance?

The blur in the first video is a post process cinematic effect that is over done and utterly unnecessary. Any pilot that had vision that blurry would have been pulled from active duty.

As to the submarine sequence...

Absurd. No submarine that was attacking an enemy task force would be actively pinging its sonar. It would give away their presence to the enemy escorts.

Someone has seen too many Hollywood movies about the war and thinks that's how a simulator should be.

It is NOT the pinging sound of the submarine's sonar. It is ASDIC, probably from an escorting destroyer, in sweep scan modus. Therefore the multiple pings in regular interval. It is per se not unrealistic, though IRL no submarine kaleun would stay in the periscope depth when ASDIC was around, let alone raising his periscope. But I guess the most daring (and foolish) one would.

I think that might only be just a video someone threw together, with periscope and water splash "filters" added for effect.

You are quite mixing up different mods here.

Most interesting one is indeed the 'lower particle effects' mod, which is seen in the last video. It is aimed to be less hardware intensive.

But we won't just "download a mod and release it as update'.

Some really nice effects there. Would love to see something similar integrated into the main game.

Bingo.
The low particle effects may be a good option for many that arent running a great PC.
But the others there like Gurners effects would probably just outright kill lesser machines!
I like it though.

Then why not to do one yourselves? It's a great improvement to the game.
