I'm wondering how possible this would even be but I'm gonna pitch this idea anyways.
A playable U Class Submarine.
The model already exists in the game, but it's a British Submarine. What I'm thinking is you could possibly use the submarine while playing as the Germans, mostly just for fun. Basically instead of the Type VII U boat you play as a U Class Submarine on the German side.
Correct me if I am wrong but I'm thinking it would be somewhat simple. More so than trying to make a Type IX or Type XXI anyways.
The U Class has these specs;
11.25 Knots Surfaced Speed
10 Knots submerged
4 Bow torpedo tubes, 8 total torpedoes
1x 3 Inch AA gun.
8300 km surfaced range at full speed
(The type VII has a range of 15,700 km at a speed of 10 knots)
I'd imagine the speed and torpedo tubes and loadout would be simple to set. The 3 inch AA gun could be substituted for the German equivalent (a Flak Gun?). I don't know if there is a playable German equivalent in game though. Full consumption could be set for the range in comparison to the current Type VII stats.
Now graphically might be the hard part. I suppose the inside of the Type VII could be reused for simplicitys sake. The outside of the sub would be tricky reusing the U Class model in game in comparison to the Type VII. But essentially a U Class deck would be would consist of a Flak Gun where the deck gun is and no extra weapons on deck. Now I imagine boundaries would have to be set for walking about and a ladder placed on the conning tower.
I am not a modder myself so I'm hoping this would be possible, primarily just for fun. If this is possible and someone's willing to try to work on this I'd gladly help.
