Moreover, the external, upper deck torpedo containers were withdrawn from use because of frequent damages from depth charges. And finally, increasingly used G7e type torpedoes cannot be stored in upper deck due to impossibility of maintenance.
The number of internally carried torpedoes were not increased due to lack of room.
The modification reduced the dive-time because the narrowed shape of the upper deck facilitated the escape of air, which was traped under the casing. This - in turn - shortened the dive-time by about 10-15 sec.
Are the diving times reduced when you use this modification in the game?

Thank you my friend!
Excellent find. That explain a lot to me.
Yes, Rowi modeled the reduced time in Ccom12, as there is a .Sim file together with this hull
Rowi was meticulous fantastic modder!
