Hello guys.
This is the list of the mods i am usinig:
FX_Update_0_0_19_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith

Accurate German Flags
Church's Compass Dials Mod v2.2 - Option Two
Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v2.9
Trevally Automated Scripts v0.6
OPEN HORIZONS II Light v3

I can say exellent work.I like it alot.Water color is great.
I did notice one problem in the game.
I was at periscope depth, 1500 meters from the convoy.Enemy has spoted my periscipe and start to fire with machine gun.I had periscope damage,diesel engine damaged,one oficer hurt,flading,hull damage....

From my military knowlage,macine gun big caliber cant do this.At that distance to penetrate submarine,at that depth.It is OK for deck gun,but not for the machine gun.
Eny opinion?

i´m agree

Below water the power of a machine gun is not enough to penetrate the external hull of a submarine. The bullet lost a lot of his energy when hit the water.

The only possible damage could be the periscope , optics and tube because it´s in the surface or not too deep.

But i think that there are some mods that tweak this things

3.6 bathtubes per minute will flow into the commando room if a
twisted, damaged periscope has a leak of 1cm in width x 7cm in length.
= 514 litre.

All the damages are explainable.

Water and batteries °) do not get along.
Water and diesels do not get along.

°) to start the diesels

It depends of the angle but it´s very difficult for a 50 cal bullet penetrate a pressure hull below water.It means that damages in diesel engines and hull can be very limited.
