View Full Version : [REQ] Move Balkon Gerät to historical location

After trying out one of the mods that unlocks all equipment regardless of date I noticed that the Balkon Gerät appears at the forward most part of the box keel and is effectively the lowest part of the boat. I dunno how Ubi got the idea that it belonged there, but in the real U-boats the sensor was about as far forward as possible on the Type VII's that had it, so the bottom ended up being even with the keel (maybe so the boat could still lay on the bottom without damaging the hydrophones?).

Does anyone know if it would be possible to move the sensor to the real location?

Hopefully this will be possible when Privateer has finished his tools.
Although it may be possible now using Hex Editing.

I figured it would have to wait for proper tools, just thought I'd throw the idea out there since most of the community values absolute historical accuracy. Keep up the good work modders! :salute:

Oh, and with the upcoming tools will it be possible to get historical prop rotation, too?
