The mod is great otherwise.
Hi shipmate.
We have set the snorkels availability in-game to be historically accurate.
You may observe the date range found on uboat.net via the following link and excerpt.

https://uboat.net/technical/schnorchel.htm

"The first boat to be fitted with the Schnorchel was U-58 which experimented with the equipment in the Baltic during the summer of 1943 but operational boats didn't start to use it until early 1944 and even as late as June 1944 only about half of the boats stationed in the French bases had Schnorchels fitted."

We may need to edit the snorkel equipment availability chart icon. I will check into that on that over in our workshops.

Otherwise, we will be keeping the historically accurate in-game actual availability as it is currently in GWX-KC.

Regarding editing the files to suit your taste, you may open a new thread to request assistance with that. If we were to do that here on this thread for every person's preferences, we'd be doing little or nothing more outside of that. I hope you understand.

Sink'em ALL!
