Unforturnately, in SH3's system, it may not be possible to use the normal fuel underwater and remove the battery system. I can only change the battery into 'Walter battery' and the electrical engine into 24kts.
Woof, if you are happy with this, it is easy to use the XXI model and change XXI into XVIII.

Hi,
Great. That's almost exactly what I was looking for. Since the Typ XVIII and Typ XXI looked virtually identical, editing the visual model will not be necessary anyway.
The technicalities of using a real Walter turbine is not really important. Having a boat that has a surface speed of a Typ XXI with the vastly superior submerged speed of the Walter Turbine would be ideal. Since the Walter turbine didn't require the snorkel, your idea with the "Walter battery" would be exactly what I had in mind. The XVIII still had a snorkel though and could also run on Diesel alone. It had to do that since the hydrogen peroxide was - like diesel - a fuel and was limited.
Can this additional boat be integrated into the game or does it have to be a substitute for another boat?
