Inaccurate sonar abilities
Gents:
According to "Modern Submarine Warfare" by Miller and Jordan published in 1987 the sonar even when the XXI was at sea was ineffective beyond 122 meters (ap 400 feet) .
According to these authors the XXI could dive safely to @700 ft or @ 213meters. I had read elsewhere it could go down to @1,000 feet at best . It could travel underwater at 16.7 knots for 72 minutes; 12 knots at 5 hours; 5.2 knots (stealth mode) for 72 hours; and its snorkel could not be picked up by allied airborn radar ... especially sea state 2. (what is the equivalent in waive height in SH3?
I have been playing around with dif boats and in January of 1943 I am using a VIIC 1/42 (cheating?) and even when traveling at quiet ... 2knts at below 150 meters ... or down to any depth...to 225 meters and they are dc around me at or around the same depth!!!
What was the max depth of dc in Jan 1943? I thought it had a max of 194 meters....
Finally: how do I mod the game to buy the XXI? I want to start a late campaign and see what would happen in mid 2003 with this model....
OH YES! Thank you Jung for the mod to fix the Air attack time to 1x .... now I dive my ass as fast as can... change course... down to50 meters and survive the wiave after waive of ac....
thank you gents
