I'm confused about what the purpose of the snorkel is. All I see is that my flag is displayed if I hit the X key, which is cool, when the snorkel is up.

I thought that maybe the snorkel allowed the diesel engine to breath so you could run on diesel power under water... then I thought it would allow oxygen into the sub... but neither of these happen on my sub.

If I go to snorkel depth, I don't see anything different.. for example, after being under water for several hours, and my CO2 was going up. So I thought I would go to snorkel depth and give my guys some oxygen. Well this didn't help, as the CO2 stayed the same.

Does the game model the snorkel and if so when would I use it and what is it supposed to do?

I'm using the latest Living Silent Hunter mod, but nothing really other than that.
