I don't know if you guys have seen this, it's quite interesting for some parts:
http://www.uboatarchive.net/DesignStudiesTypeIXC.htm
What caught my attention is the description of the equipments used and their exact place in the sub.
I find those statements pretty interesting as well:
"When surfaced there are normally three persons in the conning tower. Under battle stations conditions, there are four".
"When surfaced there are five persons in the control room. At battle stations, there are ten."
And it goes for all strategic locations of the sub.
I really hope this can be modeled in SH5, or that at least the devs use those documents as basis for their work in order to get historical accuracy. I however doubt that we will get a FULL crew modeled, Create and animate 50 people sounds tricky to me
All in all, the document is pretty long to go through, but it is full of details on how a type IX was equiped and manned by its crew.
I'm sure a lot of you already know the website it comes from.
Uboatarchives is a good website for reading historical documents and learn how things exactly happen during the battle of the atlantic (I enjoyed reading the war diaries part).
Hope this is useful !
