Looking for more info on the easy detection of the Snorkel?

Have been reading allot about the possible bug that the Snorkel is too easily detected in Stock 1.4 Game. Looks like Jungmen had a fix, which I have not been able to find, but read that the Snorkel fix it is also included in Rubini Stay_Alert_crew_fix_v1c. Mod.

But after reading the readme Rubini states Jungman in truth only fix it (making the MinHeight from 0 to 1 meter) to AI_Visual and generic AI_radar what is also present in standard GWX. He not made it for all radars neither for airplane radars. I guess that is ok as it is now. But if someone start to be detected by airplanes frequently when using snorkel then is just a matter to set all MinHeight from 0 to 1 for ASVMark (all types) using TTtweak. ; )

So if what I want to fix is the ability for airplanes not to detect my Snorkel with radar then Jungman's fix is not really complete?

So it looks like there could be 2 issues to change, if i want radars to NOT pick up my periscope and snorkel and if I want the Game A.I. to NOT be able to easily visually spot my periscope and snorkel.

For gameplay i think I would like to have radars NOT detect my periscope and snorkel and the Visual Setting set to very hard to spot periscope and snorkel.

Does anyone have the files with the changes that I would like already or do I have to use SH3 Minitweaker to make the changes myself, if I have to use SH3 Minitweaker myself looks like SH3MiniTweaker_build104.rar is the latest version not sure about the separate TweakFiles.rar if there was a last version.

If anyone can clearly tell me what I need to change to make this work or Paypal you for your time for the Mod that would be great!

As of now the way my game is playing I do not see any advantage using the snorkel, I was watching a TV program that talked about 6 Unoats using snorkel in a mission where undected while others not fitted with snorkel where spotted and attacked. Thanks for any info on the subject!

http://www.uboataces.com/radar-warning.shtml hope this helps; but a snorkel and periscope and after mid 1942, and as 10 cm radar came into use with a Leigh Light and aircraft crews 'on their game' in the Bay of Biscay or out of Iceland, is a pretty daunting prospect! Good luck! DON'T USE THE METOX!
