V15C is available.

New in this version:

1) CO2 production of the crew (and thus the maximum diving time) of Uboats now are strongly affected by Silent-Running status.
While in Silent Running, the crew produces only 50% of the CO2 compared to standard situation, so that diving times are doubled.

2) Enlarged maximum diving time for Type XXI from 46 hours to 75 hours.

3) All previous and following fixes (repair times, range estimations) are now switchable ON/OFF by changing a single Byte. Description will follow.

In V15C, the diving times are as follows:

Type II: 30h - unchanged.
Type VII: 36h - unchanged.
Type IX: 40h - unchanged.
Type XXI: raised from 46h to 75h.

When in Silent-Running all the time, the following maximum diving times are possible (Factor 2):

Type II: 60h
Type VII: 72h
Type IX: 80h
Type XXI: 150h.

which more or less conforms to historical data. Thanks, LGN1, for research.

Note: I decided not to take the number of crew members into consideration when calculating CO2 production and diving times, because it is not totally clear if Uboats had additional Oxygen supply for additional crew or not. Also I have historical data (regarding diving-time and number of crew) only for 3 Uboat types, but there are 8 different types in SH3.
