Ship horn mod
 
I’m reading Das Boot. I did not know u-boats had horns. It makes sense. Any way to fix up a mod that you can set a key to when surfaces during harbor ingress/egress?

I would love a ship's horn hahaha as long as it is the historically accurate sound.

Love the horns in world of warships Rofl.

I recall reading somewhere that they were foghorns, so assume it was air-driven, don't know what pitch or how powerful tough.

--edit--

Yup, found the book; When the U-Boats came to America. There's a part about U-151:

"On May 28th the fog was heavy and the U-Boat remained on the surface, frequently sounding its foghorn."

See also a mention here:

Where it shows on the conning tower where it was fitted.

If you're using chrome, you can use Ctrl+F and type "foghorn" without quotes, to highlight it's occurrence on the page.

Found out more;

The VII were fitted with Tyfon air 'whistles', two I believe, running off compressed air.

"The tyfone air whistle can be operated from conning tower and from the bridge."

Almost certainly like this: https://youtu.be/CgWbaMQvHDY
