Last night, I was using the OM VIIC in a custom mission set in 1943. I discovered I have a working Snorkel, just as in SH3.
Was everyone aware of this? I did not recall reading this fantastic development in the Read Me. I quickly took some snaps of me running at 7-8 knots on standard bell at 12 metres depth (diesels switch off and e-motors kick in a 13 metres).
The snorkel swings up and down into place with the usual SH3 Shift X command.
I know OM does not support upgrades in game, but I guess when you create a single mission, and set you sub unit version to a date when snorkels would have been installed historically, they end up actually being installed in the boats ported over from SH3.
