Decks Awash

ddiplock · 07-18-09, 11:52 AM

How do you set the game to allow you to run decks awash?? My watch crew always go inside when I order the boat down so I can't stay up on the bridge.

Is there a config file I need to alter somwhere?

Cheers guys

There is no file or order in-game for this. Just set your depth to 6-7m and you should be able to hide most of your boat under the water without considered submerged for the game engine.

Ah right, i wasn't aware about that. I thought u had to alter a config file somewhere to allow you to run with decks awash

You'll find it depends on the uboat type, some you can go no deeper than 7 metres before it counts as submerged and the crew leave the bridge. Usually the bigger subs go to about 8 metres. This can be changed in a config file but its fine as is.

I just started playing, and one of the mods I starting using is called something to the effect of 'Decks Awash & Fuel Economy' mod. It sets the periscope depth of Type IIs to where the conning tower stays submerged in rough weather, sets the 'Ahead One Third' command to the subs optimal fuel economy speed, and allows you to run decks awash by hitting the 'snorkel depth' key.
