Snorkel in Bad Weather?

postalbyke · 08-11-11, 01:12 PM

Greetings, All!
My question of the day is this:

Does anyone else have trouble snorkeling in bad weather?

Conditions are as follows:
POS laptop running:
SH3 with V15E3 Patch
NYGM 3.5
Magui F
Magui F Fix
IABL Ships for NYGM
FuMB37 XXIII NYGM

Weather is >10m/s, rain, mist

Symptoms:
Unable to ring up ahead bell while diesel is running unless on surface, which causes me to sink out...
My crew doesn't seem concerned, though!

Any thoughts?

Read mod makers 1ST Post about snorkel. h.ste's realismV15E3 Patch is just that. Realism

" Snorkel-Fix (V15D or later)
Speed restriction when snorkelling - wind speed dependent! (Speed restriction starts 20 seconds after beginning of snorkelling. This was necessary to prevent that speed restriction handicaps crash dive).

Wind speed = 0...5m/s: Uboat speed restricted to "1/3"
Wind speed = 6...10m/s: Uboat speed restricted to "slow".
Wind speed = 11...15ms/s: Uboat stopped. Snorkelling impossible.
