there is a bad news!
Try to use your boat to play the single mission U505. you will find that the DDs can detect you even you are full stop the motor and submerdged.if you are @ periscope depth they will directly fire @ you by thier guns. I think that's because tall antenna you added on the conning tower.
I recently also make a small MOD to detailed the Jumping wire of 7c3 conning tower (just detailed the jumping wire nothing else get touched)and also find the similar problem but a little better than that of yours, that the DD will not directly fire @ u by their guns when you are @ periscope depth. But still seems the DD can easly detect you(the noise meter keeps red all the time even you dive below 260 meter and keep @ 2 knots) .
I do the same test for the stock 7C3 conning tower. Just after the game begins the noise meter keeps in red in about 10+ seconds after the closest DD pass you by the noise meter turn back to green.

Hi All,
As what I have stated, I divided this test into 3 cells - Tomi's 7c3, My 7C3 and stock 7C3. test each cell 3 times. same result as I mentioned on each time. Only the stock 7C3 can successfully hide @ periscope depth in silent run mode without being detected by the DDs. Do not test IXC yet. It seems that even the small touch to the 3d data file can affect the the detectable charactor.

these problems where reported by Schnorchel on the 25.3.2008 :hmm: ......is there a fix i hope so or else you wont live long in the game using this sub. I placed your turm on a IXC.40 and yes they can still see you:damn: :damn: .P.s is everyone else just sailing around looking at the sub and not attacking anything???.:rotfl:

Tested your cool Sub: And here a few things!

You are already aware of the Tower Problem!
No problems with other Towers whatsoever! :hmm:
I really wish i could help you there!:88)

And I found out that if one uses your Waterstream for VIIC/41
(Tomi's VIIC/41 water stream ready)
That it adds a cool waterstream to the Sub, but also messes up the smoke of any other ship!

I tested it quite a few times!

With your waterstream I get this!

Dunno if other people get this too!

As soon as I disable this mod and use the Sub only, the problem is no more!:hmm:
Must be Materials.Dat related!?

Cheers!
