Kurfürst´s Schnelltauchback

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.

regarding this boat
 

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

Nice!
:yeah:

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:

Well done! Thank you!

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!

Kurfürst :salute:

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:

Missing Snorkel Wake
 

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

Anyone have any suggestions?:06:

I know nothing :D but perhaps w_clear's "Periscope and Wake Mod" may inspire you? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=150510


/edit: boat looks great! :rock:

Thanks!!! OMW to check it out now.

EDIT: The download no longer exists. I even checked W_Clear's FileFront User page and it is not there anymore.
