Default [REL] Decks Awash Mod

Do you use Decks Awash as a tactic to lower the profile of your U-boat and let you approach closer to enemy ships?
Are you tired of setting the correct depth manually?

WBs Decks Awash Mod is another one that I made to make my life easy. It will replace the 'Snorkel Depth' (; key) setting for your U-boat to allow you to sail with decks awash.

Please read the Readme carefully.

A big thank you to the GWX team for allowing proper cruising with decks awash in their supermod.

WB

Nice one

I will now go back into each CFG file (ingame) and set them back to the original settings before activating your mod

Cause and effect, jim. You made the nasty little Q-ships and I've made it slightly easier to approach the little buggers without being seen.

I've managed to resist the temptation to just rename them 'Watch Out' or 'Run Away'!

Your move.

Hi there

Is the snorkel depth important? Will I be missing out if I supersede it with this mod? I have never used the snorkel depth in the game. But I was wondering how important it is and if other players use it for a particular purpose. Just want to get this point straight before I replace it with this mod.

Thanks

Now if you can just figure out a way to have it run on the e-motors but still have the crew on the bridge. After all, part of the decks-awash approach is to be quiet as well.

WeeBubba, snorkel depth is there for use with the snorkel, so, late in the war, yes, it could conceivably cause a problem.

The mod is designed to be used before snorkels become available - once they become available and you've fitted them to your U-boat you need to disable the mod to get proper snorkel depth back.

Cute, but hardly realistic.

Isn't it already possible to do deck awash in GWX 2.1? I've used this technique before...

Is their something that I am missing?:hmm:
