Hey oRGy. The sonar / radio rooms were similar, but except for the hydrophone, the equipment just looks 'different'. (I'm not sure what some of it is). If you download my photos from the link above, you can see what I mean. In particular, sonar room #3 shows a piece of equipment covering most of one wall in the sonar room, but I couldn't identify it.

In general, the boat is much more congested, especially the control room, with pipes, cables and valves than the game portrays. With 10 or so people from the tour in it, you couldn't move very much. I can't imagine going through a depth charge attack in there!

By the way, for those of you who look at my photos, the holes you can see in the conning tower pictures are the bullet / shell holes form the u boat's capture, which they left as-is.
