Snorkel deployment
I quite enjoy SH3 in the late was, trying to survive and achieve something resembling a score in mid to late 1944 using a VIIC. This is difficult in GWX3 but more difficult in NYGM, which may come as no surprise.
One issue is that in GWX3 it takes less than 2-minutes to raise the snort and start the diesels. However in NYGM it takes typically takes more than 3-minutes just to raise/lower the mast. Particularly when surprised by aircraft, this can be deadly since I suspect that the retracting snorkel mast is more vulnerable to damage.
There is some film footage on the Internet of VIIs and IXs extending and retracting their masts and from these snippets of data it would seem that GWX3 is closer than NYGM for extension/retraction times but the sample size is small.
I checked the snorkel entries for the boats in their respective NSS_UboatXXXX.cfg files and they appear identical so I cannot determine where the extension/retraction parameters live.
Does anybody know how to edit the appropriate file to reduce the time in NYGM. Thanks in advance.
