Will this also affect the machine and lighter cannon deck guns on escorts?
I always hated the fact I could just keep watching attacking escorts though my periscope while they circled me and fired light machine guns and 20mm and 40mm at me while just under the surface without doing any damage. Now we'd really have to dive for the deep! Or have the risk of the conning tower getting preforated, and lose the radar, and periscopes.
Also, weren't some subs just a little more resiliant to battle damage because of the higher strength steel construction like the Balao and Tench? Not that they should be able to duke it out on the surface either, but maybe just ever so slightly able to handle a few more of the lighter 20mm rounds hitting them. Don't know what the facts are on their stengthened hulls though.
Is there any chance of getting hydrophone upgrades? Were there different models used on the various fleet boats?
Man I can't wait to try this mod out!
