Other than the fact that the oxygen (atmosphere) doesn't restore..
The on/off (above waterline/below waterline) will not show....I hid the separate object. If I hadn't, yes the entire SD mast/head would have been misplaced....that's why there's a trade off between raising/lowering the antenna compared to having it turn off/on.

There still may be an issue with Radar reporting detected objects. The SJ, when its on the boat will report detected objects by the subs AI crewmen. As long as the sub is surfaced the SJ is "on" (even though when you go to one of the two radar stations....you have to turn the darn thing "on"!?). If you don't want any radar reports at all when surfaced (besides on your own discretion...when you want to turn the radars "on"), I'll have to make the SJ follow the SD parameters too. Just more work involved. There are three SD units.....there are over a dozen SJ units.

Yes, leave the air cap alone for now. There can still be reasons to lower the "model count" rendered within the scene....but the TC issue should be less when the radar won't pick up targets, especially friendly ones.

==========

The Snorkel for the German side is not affected by what we've done with it on the American side....completely different files involved. Any problem issues with the Snorkel are still there as before.
