Speaking of subs, the subs in LRP, the skins are all the latest of fubars skins, resized to default texture size, and then repacked into their dats. Makes for quicker loading, and less demanding on your computer.

Ive done alot of changes to them.. or rather, fine tuning. The summation of all the uboat changes are pretty much like this:

IXB,
shortest range, slowest surface speed, fastest submerged speed, least amount of hitpoints, fastest diving, now uses type 7 interior.

IXC
Middle range, middle surface speed, 1 more torpedo, standard submerged speed, middle range hitpoints, average diving speed.

IXD2,
longest range, fastest surface speed, tons of torpedos, slighly slowest submerged speed, most hitpoints, slowest diving.

All boats have the same crush depth, and they all slow crush, meaning you can, (and in some instances probably should), push your boat deeper then you normally would.
Stock files are used. No mod that gives a sub a natural negative or positive boyancy to encourage constant foward motion is being used.

Ive also given them all *slighly* more fuel then is historically accurate. (IE instead of using 12,000 @ 10 KM on the IXB, i used 12,000 @ 12kts). This gives you a little extra fuel to loiter in your patrol area. (maybe too much, i might lower it) Using the historical fuel figure, in an IXC, i barely had enough fuel to stay in the carribean 4 or 5 days if i expected to return. Hence the motivation to add a little more fuel.
