[TEC] Could someone direct me to this file please

I'd like to make it where can send contact reports at periscope depth.which files control this ? Always bothered me have to be at 36 feet or less in game.

That's a great question, one I'd like to know the answer to that myself. But I'm afraid the answer may be one we don't like.

Bubblehead speak with silver tongue.

Yeah, we're currently fooling around with SJ radar;

And the radio transmit is probably affected by the same thing. In real life you wouldn't be able to receive either without the antenna sticking up above the surface (in WW2 that is, modern subs have a VLF gadget) but the game ignores that and you receive messages submerged anyway.

This mod;

Doesn't work for the SJ radar, but it might possibly work for radio transmissions with some hacking.

Just noticed the OP's name "Bubblehead1980", were you a real life submariner too?

Well to further this cause here's some information I've managed to collect regarding when you can no longer transmit messages.

S-18: 30ft
S-42: 30ft
Porpoise: 41ft
Salmon: 39ft
Sargo: 39ft
Tambor: 38ft
Gar: 38ft
Gato: 39ft
Balao: 39ft

Yes, wish knew which files to edit in the game to change it.Would change it where can send when at scope depth, as would be able to in RL.

Nope, just chose this handle when signed up for subsim way back when.
