Kurfürst´s Schnelltauchback for SH IV

Kurfürst´s Schnelltauchback

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll310/arnd278/Schnelltauchback-1.jpg


This is the SH IV version of "Kurfürst´s Schnelltauchback", originally done by Privateer for SH III.
I converted his Mod (with Privateers permission) to make it playable in SH IV.

Historical background

The "Schnelltauchback" had been introduced to IX C/40 Uboats by late 1944.
The cut-away foredeck reduced the alarm diving time as this was more and more important to escape from attacking airplanes.
It had a positive effect in keeping a constant depth while snorkeling, too.

The following Uboats had been outfitted with a "Schnelltauchback:
U-170, U-190, U-516, U-530, U-539, U-548, U-804, U-805, U-853, U-857, U-858, U-866 -U-869, U-878 - U-881, U-1226, U-1232 - U-1235

This Mod is JSGME- ready.

[markdenny]

Will this go straight into OP MONSUN without any problems or is it going to be incorparated into OP MONSUN at some stage?

[Madox58]

Nice!
:yeah:

[TheBeast]

W O O T ! Got it working and the Snorkel actually functions so I can use deisel engines while submerged.:yeah:

I did notice that the Snorkel is missing a wake.:hmmm:

[Wilcke]

Well done! Thank you!

[kurfürst]

Thank You for the many "Thank You"! :oops:

But it´s Privateer who deserves all the applause as I only made his Mod playable for SH IV!

I didn´t have any problems with this while Operation Monsun is activated.
It´s a "stand- alone" Mod and will not appear at a certain stage of Operation Monsun. Maybe Lurker wants to incorporate it in an upcoming version of his Mod.

Beste Grüße, Kurfürst :salute:

I have tried everything I can think of to put a wake on the snorkel with no success.:damn:

Anyone have any suggestions?:06:

Ah, he added Persicope_Attack_ShipWake and Persicope_Attack_SiajF02...

The problem is, the Hinged Snorkle is not in the Sensors DAT. So I can not add these FX to it but I was able to add the FX to the Telescoping Snorkel.

Do i need to enable Operation Monsun as well to play this?. Im reinstalling SHIV & uboat missions atm due to a ctd error i couldn't get rid off :damn: Ive reformatted the partition SH4 is installed on and starting from scratch.

Operation Monsun supports the U-Boat Type-IXC/40. All you have to do is replace the existing Data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9c40\NSS_Uboat9c40.dat and Data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9c40\NSS_Uboat9c40.cfg with the one's provided here.

Not sure if it is Career Playable in OM. I am using some older Mega MOD called "Atlantic - Into the East" that I have tweaked pretty well(Maybe some form of OM). I edited my Data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\Flotilla.upc file to create all the career missions and my Data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\CareeStart.upc file making the sub available for selection on the Career Start Menu.
Atlantic_Part1 (http://www.filefront.com/13760738/Atlantic.part1.rar) 717 Meg
Atlantic_Part2 (http://www.filefront.com/13762477/Atlantic.part2.rar) 439 Meg

NOTE: This Hull requires the Data\Interior\NSS_Uboat9_2 Interior in order to use it. I beleave this Interior is provided by Operation Monsun...:hmmm:

Hope this info helps:salute:

[kiwi_2005]

Thanks for that info Beast, I thought it was going to be just a simple JSGME and play. Well at least i now have a fare idea what to do, and ive never heard of the Atlantic mod so will download that later tonight:up:

[TheBeast]

There is a type-o error in the German Flotilla.cfg for the 30/33 flotilla's at the end of the file. So do not select those flotilla's until you find and fix it. They do not come into play until later in the campaign and you can just avoid those flotilla if you want.:damn:

I was able to get all subs working with the exception of the Type-XVIII. The Type-XVIII causes CTD every time I attempt to leave port. I have U-Boat Missions v1.5 installed, not sure what the problem is at this time.
Both German and American career's are playable. I even imported the American CareerStart.upc and Flotilla.upc files from Fall of the Rising Sun MOD. Was thinking of making a American Career (French, Spain, England) Sub Squadron (Like the Fighting Tigers) out of England, France or Spain that starts in 1939 with S-Class, Narwhal, Porpoise that melds into normal Wolf's of the Pacific in Dec. 1941.

I can post my edited CareerStar.upc and Flotilla.upc files if you want.:06:

Excellent! Thanks very much :up:
SHIV is back up and running, no nasty CTD's. Took the IXC/40 out for a quick run in single player looks a beaut, and will try her out in the Atlantic campaign once i DL your file. :salute:

[Nosulia]

Dear friends!
Could you pls refresh the link! It's fantastic u-boat!!
Many thanks in advance!!

[Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt]

Sorry, I can't download this mod on filefront; is it possible to have this mod on mediafire or subsim?

[NYX87]

Is there anyone out there who can reupload this mod?
All the download links are down...

[Jeff-Groves]

There's a newer version nearly ready.
:03:

[propbeanie]

Carly Simon had a song a few short years ago... "Anticipation"... :yeah:

Of course, the song wasn't about SH4 and Uboats... :roll:

[Jeff-Groves]

This version is built off a very special Playable Type IXC.
It was shown at subsim roughly 9 years ago.
It was never released as it was one of the premier playable subs intended for GWX 4.

[propbeanie]

Should we 'anticipte' a Bonus Mod then, maybe?... :salute:

[NYX87]

That's great news, thank You Jeff.
I have the Schnelltauchback IXC/40 mod for SH3 + GWX and I love it. Right now I'm in the Arabian sea on the way to Penang. If I remember correctly, I've modified the speed of the boat in cfg file, however, I couldn't find a way to change the fuel capacity, it's the same as a type IXC. I barely made it to Charlotte Schliemann resupply ship.
Can You please try and keep in mind this fuel issue, if it's possible anyway?
Kind regards!

[Jeff-Groves]

That would be Ranges in the sim file.
IXC in Gwx is listed at 18650 miles at 12 knots.
I see the listing as 13450 miles at 10 knots in the SH3 Kurfurst version?

propbeanie,
What you mean Bonus mod?

Teaser shots some may remember.
