Nieblung (sp) sonar does not work as advertised in the game manual. It was probably supposed to gather speed information when they were designing the game, but they never implemented it. Right along with the top end radar unit for the XXI that was supposed to be able to work while snorkeling.
Amonng other features that they probably thought to put in, but for one reason or another didn't was:
-HF/DF (antenna is in)
- Radio mast
- Radar antenna's.
Why do i mention radar intennas? The matress style anntenna starting with, i think FuMo 30 is supposed to be on the port side of the conning tower, up top. The housing is already in place. Its that big regtangular gap. Instead they stuck it to the same attachment point as the Fumo29's diapoles. Maybe they ran out of time? I dunno. Regardless its a contstant annoyance in rough seas, as every time a big wave hits the antenna, the radar shuts off. If it were up top where its SUPPPOSED To be, it never would. (pet peeve)
