Hi!
Do you have any data or hydrodynamic simulations showing the effect of drag due to deck gun, conning tower, and/or changes in flak configuration? Any source that I have found states the guns were removed to obtain a "modest" reduction in drag, but fails to mention how much this affected the u-boat's underwater speed, or the extent to which it may have offset the increased drag due to the proliferation of anti-aircraft weapons and supporting superstructure.
This seems like an good idea; unfortunately, I have found no data either on line or in books to back up any change in the way the game models a u-boats underwater performance.
