Looks great. Will give it a try.:yeah:

Would be sweet to get to have a dedicated button for this on the left side, together with the surface and periscope buttons imo. :cool:

I imagine that running with decks awash would/should make it harder for hostile ships to spot you.

Nice one :yep::up:

Good one!

Thanks, will try soon. :up:

Q: Exactly how does this mod work?

Do we set the depth ourselves?

Edit: When I press "surface" button, the uboat seem stay at around 6-7-8 meters and not really surfacing. So I guess that this mod replaces the default surface depth. Which I think is unfortunate. Also if this is the case, the OP did not indicate this.

also faster dive times. unless im mistaken, later type VIIs had air intakes and exhausts openings on the top of the conning tower so you could theoretically travel on diesels as well [if the game allows this?]

Well done!
Curiosity: Does it work with electric or diesel engines?

:salute:

@Decoman
Yep thats how its done
Was done that was in SH3 but when I tried it on SH5 got the same results
Surfacing is set at whatever the cfg say - around 7\8 mtrs at a guess

@ Thruster
Whilst trying the deck awash I found that at 7mtr the electrics kicked in no matter what deoth you set on the cfg so gotta be a value or a trigger for that somewhere
Be nice to be able to use Elecs topside too

I use Voice Recog and now that I do I consider it to be essential (it's incredible and Skjwaser is adding more Commands all the time). I currently shout "New Depth, 6 meters!" above the din of the diesel engines and I essentially get decks awash. You can see on the TAI that the surface vessels range of visual detection reduces dramatically :). Ordering 7 meters depth, removes the crew from the bridge and switches to electrics. I don't like the stock feature of having to go down the ladder to order periscope depth. If I wanna ride my boat straight to Davey Jones' Locker, that's my business :DL

The abiltiy of this MOD to allow you to open/close the hatch is intersting. I'll give it a try now and report back shortly...

I am sad to report that hatch still remains firmly closed at anything other than fully-surfaced. Mybe it's all the mods i have conflicting with it.

I set my depth to about 6 meters and noticed that the crew disappeared, yet I could still open the hatch. It was the same when going to about 8 meters, but then the hatch wouldn't open for me as was probably intended.

If I set depth to 6 meters, the uboat will surface, as if it simply surfaced normally.

Using the surface button set my uboat at 8 meter, which is too deep. With water sloshing over the floor of the conning tower. Ok, the waves where 2-3 meters high I think.

Manual depth of 7 meters seem to work ok when I tried it.


Fun detail. When the uboat is about to reach ca 8 meters, one crew at a time will disappear.They disappeared in 1-2-3, but not all at once. :DL

Just as in sh3 this mod conflicts with bad weather guns.
For sh3 i altered both files into each other and i could use them both.

I will also take the steps for shv.

Thanks

Hi

This mod changes various files. cfg entry (SurfaceDepth = 8; meters)
ch and the defect is obtained, which is commanding the surface, the boat stops at 8 feet, 8 if set to emerge fully we must set the depth manually.
the advantage is that you can open the door even in rough sea, emerge in part to charge the batteries and get away, get closer to their stock without being spotted.
