No.
From what I understand posted by experienced modders and players alike, that is not something the game engine can do. |
Aren't the U-boat speeds governable by a config file somewhere? Obviously this couldn't be an "on the fly" change in game, but isn't it an option in SH Commander to remove the deck gun? Would it be possible for the max submerged speed to be tweaked by a knot or two when removing the deck gun?
Apologies if I'm talking rubbish.
Cheers,

At the speeds that the boats travel removing the deck gun wouldn't have a noticealbe effect until you reach extremely high speeds. Underwater between the deck gun and the tower the gun will create a ripple that would cause enough drag to slow the boat down; though it would need to be at speeds faster than a u-boat can travel, at least 200-300 mph for the force between the two to cause enough of a force to drag caused by the ripple to slow the boat down. It isn't tell you get to the type XVII's that the boats become streamlines for underwater speed. Prior to that you could compare the common type VII's to a regular Dogfighter (like a P-51 or Spitfire) to a swept wing (like the Mess. 262) that were aerodynamic and designed to fly at (relatively) very high speeds.
