As stated above, GWX definitely includes this. I think the other supermods may also have it. Wreford-Brown has a small mod available in the downloads section of this site that does three things IIRC: allows decks awash, exchanges the snorkel depth command for a decks awash depth command, and changes one of the forward speeds to be what he thinks is the most fuel efficient.
None of these are to my taste, so I made a modification to allow decks awash by using SH3 Commander's static settings file. Read about it in post #10 of
this thread.
The downsides to my version are:
- to lower the sub to a decks awash depth you have to set the depth manually on the depth guage (7.9m or less for type VIIs and 8.1m or less for type IXs) rather than pressing a keyboard shortcut. For me, this was less of a problem than losing the snorkel depth command. YMMV. This limitation may also apply in the supermods, IDK. I only know that Wreford-Brown provided a shortcut key to get to the maximum depth for decks awash without having to use the depth guage, and did so by eliminating a shortcut key I use frequently.
- My mod is not JSGME ready. You actually have to either type in an SH3 Commander file, or edit one line in each of several config files.
The upsides to my mod are:
- It won't conflict with other JSGME-ready mods to the submarine configuration files.
- It doesn't sacrifice a standard shortcut key.
- It doesn't add any other potentially unwanted effects. It just enables running with decks awash.
- Implementing it, either by editing the SH3 Commander file or by editing the several sub config files, will give you a simple introduction to tweaking the game to suit your own tastes.
