most likely NO..

but if you're interested there is a schelltauchback mod that should give you ability for faster diving if you have bigger boat like IX type..

It does change the shape of the u-boat with that mod.

I am looking for this mod but I haven't found it yet.
Can you point me to the right direction please?
Thank you

There's a typo in PK's post - the mod is called 'Schnelltauchback' -> Fast Diving Foredeck

Thanks PapaKilo, I know this mod, but I´am inrested only on mod for my lovely U-Boat type VII with this conning tower with enhanced armour. Pity that this mode does not exist.

Thank you very much.

Don't you mean the "VIIC41 Player Sub"-mod that comes as an optional mod with the GWX installation?

edit: Oh, you meant a different Turm-model, not the VII/41 - sorry.

Find a bunch of good images of the modifications to the Turm and I'll see what I can do to create the 3D models needed.

That's probably the easy part!

I'd think having it all added much like the radar on the front of the Turm would be better then re-doing a whole Turm model.

Then have it available as an upgrade?

Several thoughts cross my mind on this with some research.
They were boxes added to shield the Crew.
I assume the Watch would dive into them on an attack?
So the interior of the Turm would need modded also to be correct?
:hmmm:

The mod with GWX is not the Schnelltauchback.

By the way, idea I like! Then can be these photos can be useful here.:)

Pretty good images.
:up:

I can make the needed 3D stuff pretty quickly.

Someone with experience doing the upgrades stuff would be needed to get it to work properly in Game.
I don't know if it would be better to just add the shielding like the front radar thing is done or mod a complete Turm?
:hmmm:

Hello all, will supply more photos soon. The main thing is if it is possible to adjust conning tower damage model. These Panzer-turms should result in less damage by aircraft MG fire.

And many thanks privateer!

Looking at the VIIC Turms in GWX the VIIC_4 Turm has the needed armor boxes.

Those can be cut away from that Turm and used as the stand alone Upgrade part.

This is a stock Turm and not a mod by anyone is it not?
:hmmm:

Looking at the 3D Models again I think I'll adjust the VIIC_4 Turm by cutting off the front platform.

It will have the interior of the Turm correct that way, the damage model will be proper, and so on and so forth.

Probably be easier to do the addition as an upgrade also?
:hmmm:

I'll still make the boxes only parts available as 3D models should anyone want to play with them.

:yep:
