Realistic pericsope and snorkel speeds

xrvjorn · 03-26-06, 10:24 AM

In earlier threads, there's a consensus that a realistic snorkel speed would be about 7 knots and that you couldn't go flat out with the periscope up either.

What's a realistic max speed for a raised periscope?

The type XXI has a sturdier looking snorkel than the VII and IX. Could it withstand higher speeds?

It's a bummer that we can't put snorkels on the type IIs. It's got the perfect size for sneaking into British ports!
