Signing off as functional, and ready for sea.

This is by no means the last version of the mod

I still want to change/improve :

- the periscope view : a view through a WWII french periscope would be tops, one through a later (1950s) would be ok

- I still need to make the turret change texture at the same time (July 1, 1942) as the hull and tower

- I need to change the torpedo picture in the loadout screen : the smaller torp is ok for the v24 but the v26 should be a long thin torpedo

- I need to make a TMO patch for her too

Any and all constructive criticism is welcome, people just venting off are not

this mod would not have been possible without :

the sponsoring of Hautpoul on the forum mille sabords who payed for the Surcouf 3d model on Turbosquid

the unrelenting help of my dear friend Peabody, who selflessly made the twin 8 inch gun and helped me tweak the various versions

Well Keltos i hope you can manage to build a Surcouf sometime down the road. I have really enjoyed your work along with Peabody's. You two, plus some help from some others, have done your homework and have created some really nice pieces of art/work. Job well done guys and please don't stop anytime soon! If you need any help in researching information for the Surcouf or any other MODS, please drop me a line and I'll try and lend a helping hand. Good luck to you on any/all future projects!

P.S. looking forward to your updated polished HMS Truant & Zwaardvisch playable mod. Sounds very interesting
