One thing I would really like to do is add retractable masts and smoke pipes to early subs like the U-9. I am trying to teach myself how to do this but I may need help.

Tie the funnel to the snorkel, and set the diesel engine working depth in a manner that even surfaced it won't start unless the snorkel is raised

you could also talk to Anvart, IIRC he knows every which-way around making things go up in-game

heres a useful link I found, with a U-boat interior picture. looks just like the WWII ones

EDIT: also, I got a book on Kriegsmarine Uniforms 1914-1945

I have settled on SH4 as a platform, so is the snorkel included? Yes, I am that clueless - I have about 20-24 hrs of SH4 patrols under my belt!

there is one but I don't think it was implemented, I know Peabody made our for the IJN mod, I think there's one in Operation Monsun too.

can you post pictures of the sub you are working on please ?

There is a snorkel 3D model in the library/GerSubParts/Senzori_uboat.dat but there is no 3D model for the US side. As Keltos said it is not implimented. When it is implimented you get a couple knots more speed submerged but it does not do anything about the CO2 levels.

Yes; this is going to be my first mod for SH4 (not counting merchant vessels other people ported over for me).

I await your PM with bated breath IABL
I also found my copy of The Kaiser's Uboats by osprey publishing, in eBook format, so I can help with the playable boats
