"Antenna" at the VIIb conning tower - Bug or feature?

Deep_Hunter · 03-14-14, 06:39 PM

Hey guys,
like the title says, i don't know if i found a bug or a feature...i changed from the VIIa to the VIIb and i also "bought" the standard VIIb-Conning tower. Now everytime i dive there is kind of a spear coming out of a hole on the left side of my conning tower. It looks like a periscope but i can't control it and the end which goes through the surface is very spiky. The two periscopes are working and going up and down normaly. The Spike stays up to a depth of 25 meters. Then it goes down slowly. Is this some kind of an antenna or something else?
Sorry if my post is in the wrong part of this forum but i searched and couldn't find any similar topic...

It's your radio antenna. When you go below periscope depth it will retract on its own. It is NOT a bug bud.

It's Radio Direction Finder Antenna , a part of the system designed for bearing determination of incoming radio signal...http://www.uboat.net/articles/id/51
