You mean you can actually get different conning towers for the Type II?Could you please post a pic if possible,would love to see that,I'm ashamed to say I've never stayed with a Type II long enough to get anything like that:)

In 1943 (or earlier if you adjust the basic.cfg) you get the second and final version of the IID conning tower.

A real looker, ain't she?

I've got to be honest, I hate the type II :lol:
Only got 6 torpedoes, with my shooting, that's three ships :oops:

To my mind thats a good thing. If you've only got so many torpedoes it makes you think harder about what you shoot. It makes you ask yourself "is it worth it?".

Plus if you know you only have so many shots then its a good tutor for getting better I think.

Plus she's a fast bugger. Maneuverability is unparalleled.

They are nice looking boats, gotta give em that, the only problem here is the IID's began from U-137 and went straight through to U-152

The small size is an advantage when up against enemy radar. Going decks awash in the middle of the night you can go undetected by four escorts, radar warner going wild, straight into the convoy, not diving until after the torps are fired:up:

Yes, but the boats used in the 30´th Flot where all IIb´s: U-9,18,19,20,23, and 24.
U-24 was at least actually in the 30´th:up:

Ah yes, but you drive a IID see, which is why I say. :know:

I do like the II's no idea why they are just great. The only boats I am not keen on are the IXD and the IXB

I think that the B designations get a bum rap. I mean they aren't that inferior. In fact they are so similar to their C counter parts that there isn't much incentive to upgrade.

The best ace of the war used a VIIB, and the most famous boat of the Drumbeat times was a IXB (U-123). I think that we sometimes get a little obcessed with things like maximum range and torpedo loadout.

But who am I talking to? These are the people that love a boat that couldn't reach Iceland.;)

how did you get that new conning tower please
 

Hello how do you get the new conning tower for the II as i quite like the II sub please and what do you have to do in the CFG file, thanks

wait till around 43
dont know the precise date

You can get the IID/2 tower earlier by changing the basic.cfg file slightly. Go to main SH3 folder, then data, then Cfg, then right click basic.cfg and open it with Notepad.

What you need to do next is scroll down right the way till you see this:

Where I have highlighted in red is the bit you need to change. But before you change anything, roll back Sh3 Commander, disable any Mods that you know make changed to the basic.cfg file. And then back up said basic file!

Then, you look for the bit marked in red in your own basic. Where it says year, you change that to whatver year you like, 1939 to 1945 so say you want the IID/2 tower in 1940, you will change the year to 1940. The month you can leave as 1 which is January right through till December which is 12. So that is how it works.

The earliest you can have the IID/2 tower is 1939 with the month set as 10.

Hopefully some of the more experienced modders can verify what I have said.

Cool,thanks for that PG and lzs von swe,going to start a career in a type II and be the terror of the black sea with me new conn:arrgh!:

Oh yes, the reason I put an arrow to the renown part is because if you like you can change the renown cost of the IID/2 tower to be cheaper or, if you are so inclined, more expensive.
