Impossible; the 37mm rapid-fire deck gun was an Austro-Hungarian and bulgarian weapon, not german. the german ships used the 8mm machine gun.
but if you want I will search some images of these weapons.
One thing; if you want add a K.u.K. campaign, you have to make the UB-2 class (these boats were the most successful subs of the KuK navy); I hope the you will make more subs than those of your list.
Sorry if I seem presumptuous
PS: good work

Hi; Groner's book on U-Boats says UB-14 definitely had a 37mm, so that's where I got the idea from. She operated as an Austrian sub so it may well have been an Austrian weapon. However, I have seen German (?) versions of the 37mm (as a flak gun on the Western Front).



I feel it would be good to at least give the UB-I players a chance of sinking something bigger than a rowboat with the deck gun. UB-14 had the 37mm starting in 1917, but I think I will make it available from the outset.

I made a UB-II Class sub earlier but I don't like the model anymore - it was very ugly and low poly, so if it's included it will be redone with better detail.
