Before anyone gets too excited, this is not a graphic representation of a VIIA but adjusts the values of a VIIB to simulate a VIIA.
I also need to thank SailorSteve who gave me the idea.
This mod simulates a VIIA by adjusting the following values:
11 torpedoes
No external reloads
No rear tube reloads
Reduced range compared to VIIB
Reduced speed compared to VIIB
Adjusted displacement and engine power to simulate VIIA
The VIIA had one external torpedo tube at the rear - I've simulated this by leaving just one internal torpedo in the rear tube.
There are two versions of the mod. One is a standard JSGME version to allow you to manually change your VIIB into a VIIA. The second is a SH3 Commander version which will give you a VIIA at the start of the war then change it back into a VIIB on 11 Mar 40, the date at which the VIIB became more prevalent.
All changes are to the behavior of the u-boat and there are no changes to the VIIB model - on the outside it'll still look like a VIIB.
Enjoy!
