Hello,
thanks for the GWX mod, and all those nice additions. I recently de-installed SH3 completely, including NYGM combined with GWX - an older version.
I have now GWX alone, added the 1.03 patch and some of the optional mods via JSGME (all but 16 km view, and no positive buoyancy)
With "Slow ahead" the type VII boat runs at four knots now, be it rough seas or calm, also the type II. Slow ahead with both screws (not loading) should be around six knots (i know the loading procedure is screwed, also while loading both screws turned in reality) - but 4 knots for slow ahead ? Loading batteries the type II does 2 knots ?
Type II at periscope depth is 9/10 meters (?), and the dipole antenna still circles above the surface, additionally i cannot dive to the depth i want to: When i say 12 meters it dives to ten, when i say 15 it remains at ten ? Positive buoyancy is not installed. As well an order to dive to 30 meters results in 25 to 27 ?
As well i cannot even reach Aberdeen in a type II, and return to Kiel due to fuel consumption ?
Just curious, i cannot remember this from former mods.
Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
