I think that the T-I had 2800 lbs of whatever explosive they used... torpex maybe? The T-III had about 5000 lbs. This is QUITE a difference and could really mean certain vessels like C2s go down with one punch if hit in the right spot.

I'm not sure about those numbers, 5000 lbs. warhead? That's more than the whole torpedo weighted. These sites (in german, sorry) http://www.ww2technik.de/dsub_minentorp.htm, http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/.../UTorpedos.htm give numbers of 280 kg for most warheads. IIRC the explosive was a mix of TNT and something else that was constantly improved during the war, so the later models likely had greater power, but the difference was probably not that great. |

Still, I think that the T-I was 280 warhead and the T-III was 500.

I wonder if this is a bug, and fixed in GWX1.03? I'm near the end of my current patrol (GWX, U-586 typeVIIC, Dec. '42), and want to RTB, so that I can finally apply the latest GWX-update. After a successfull convoy-attack - and escaping 4 DD's - I surfaced to send a quick contact-report, and after that I submerged immeadiatly, to 20m at full-speed ahead, to increase distance between me and those radars. After a little while, a radio-message came in (the "keep up the good work"-one)....weird...we were still travelling submerged!

Hi Paajtor,
That is a stock bug. We will look into it for the next update. (Version 1.04) |

Kpt. you sure that's a bug? I remember there was a mention of radio messages being received when the boat was at PD in Iron Coffins.
Uboat.net says this about it: Quote:

Also, on that same site, you see the table 1 that shows in what depth the uboat had to be for the message to be received. The table is for the 'Goliath' transmitter that became operational in 1943. Before that, the germans were using the 'Nauen' transmitter. |

I would go on patrol as you can always start a new career once 1.04 is available.
The development of 1.04 wont be rushed & once complete will require a period beta testing. Carry on as normal, really I don't where this idea of a 1.04 patch came from. :rotfl: Sink 'em all Herr Kaleun.

If in SH3 you can only receive messages in the depth bandwidth that is provided by U-boat.net... we have one less thing to check out. |

Another question - GWX1.02 still:
When lying stationary in recharge-mode - decks-awash - on external camera real close to the boat, I can't hear any sound from the recharging diesel...neither at the surface, nor under water. Is that also a stock-SH3 thing? I don't think I've seen that mentioned in 1.03's changelog.
