Does snorkel really exist in the game ??

Have you ever used them ??

Nopileo · 08-05-05, 04:16 AM

Yes and yes... :P

It becomes available sometime in 1943.

Thanks,

i am playing carrer in 1943.

It is a must have later on in the war.

Duli · 08-05-05, 07:07 AM

Yes, its really a must have. If you are playing a career in 43, you should buy it asap. I think it gets availible from June onwards or something like that.

I am actually on 12 march 1943 .... have to wait a few more month so....

Keep in mind that when you have it and use it that you will need to be at periscope depth and not snorkel depth.

remember, planes can spot snorkels on theire radars...so...ur not as invissible as u likt to be

Why can't you be at Snorkel depth, I thought that you had to be there to use the snorkel? What Gives? -Nightowl

There's a bug where if you're at snorkel depth the game treats your visibility the same as if you were sitting on the surface. At periscope depth however the game treats your visibility properly and the snorkel will still work.

Thanks MonkeyHero, that's nice to know. I wasn't aware of that. -Nightowl

the only problem with the snorkel is that when their is a enemy plane in the air it can spot you from 500 miles away.

THX for the WARNING too. Is it still the FACT in version 1.4b? Or it has never been updated?

Nopileo · 08-06-05, 12:09 PM

I think it depends on the sub and the snorkel. For example I think for the XXI, it is the snorkel that gives out the huge signature, so using it is just like being on the surface...

At least I often use snorkel depth with the XXI, and I manage to sneak by ships and under planes unnoticed.

MonkeyHero · 08-06-05, 11:25 PM

It might depend on the sub. The XXI probably has a deeper snorkel depth than earlier models. Keep in mind that radar will pick up the snorkel, but if you're at periscope depth at least the game won't let the AI just "see" you.
