Kurfürst´s Schnelltauchback

This is the SH IV version of "Kurfürst´s Schnelltauchback", originally done by Privateer for SH III.
I converted his Mod (with Privateers permission) to make it playable in SH IV.

Historical background

The "Schnelltauchback" had been introduced to IX C/40 Uboats by late 1944.
The cut-away foredeck reduced the alarm diving time as this was more and more important to escape from attacking airplanes.
It had a positive effect in keeping a constant depth while snorkeling, too.

The following Uboats had been outfitted with a "Schnelltauchback:
U-170, U-190, U-516, U-530, U-539, U-548, U-804, U-805, U-853, U-857, U-858, U-866 -U-869, U-878 - U-881, U-1226, U-1232 - U-1235

This Mod is JSGME- ready.
