Default A few questions for SH5 vets.

First of I would like to say that this is the first silent hunter game I have played and I love it, especially the modding community you guys are great.

Anyway I have read a book wrote by Hans Goebler about his service onboard U-505 its a great read and I would strongly advice reading it. The book ranges from 1941 to 1944 when the boat was captured. Seeing as have never completed the first campaign although I intend to do so now, I have only ever used the early war stuff. I have been wondering what kind of new toys are available in the later campaigns. Things like the ship seeking torpedoes (that I cant find any where on the internet and think I have just made up) and the snorkel device.

Also when do more torpedo types become available at the moment it seems as if I have a choice between my torpedo being spotted or having to fire from 3k away.

Yet another question for seasoned players, what is generally the best depth for firing your torpedoes at. I assume the best depth varies between merchant ships and aircraft carries but at the moment with my electrics I am firing them as close to the surface as possible.

Can anyone recommend any books that have been wrote by anyone that served during the battle of the Atlantic. I can only recommend Steel Boats Iron Hearts at the moment.
