Default Needed : exhaut smoke for IJN subs

posted by mistake on the main forum where I didn't get the answers I needed...


I-54





I-56






I-16




I-60 :





I-52 :




Since when were submarines of WWII clean as a whistle ? no telltale smoke left when they operate (in game) on the surface ?

see RL pictures here above..

can someone mod this ? for the U-boot add on, german side ?

I was told that TMO fixed this but all I need is someone to tell me how to add it to any sub so I can fix my IJN subs...

Hang on with that smoke! It wasn't normal, from the photo books I've been working on the captions state this is an anomaly and subs blowing smoke were on their way to get repairs.

OK but I need evidence of that : a bibliography would help

so they didn't smoke... ? I guess it would make sense in a way, but even warships smoked ?

keltos

Flank speed on new subs on speed trials smoked a bit, otherwise generating smoke was a cause for concern and repair.

In FOTRS all subs got smoke but the smoke on FOTRS-Subs is very small.
Should i use the same settings on your subs ?

Default engines

Not sure if this applies to all engines, but I do know that on aircraft, and automobile engine, as well as Diesel locomotives, when running above a specific percentage of power (usually above 75%) engines run in a full rich state. The extra fuel is not there for combustion, but in fact for cooling of the piston crown, and cylinder. This results in unburned fuel going through the exhaust system, which due to the heat of the system, incompletely burns on its way out, causing on some systems a black sooty stream. A sub going at full or flank would smoke like a son of a gun. Just watch a diesle train when it starts out. A plume of black smoke will exit the pipe. If the engine continued running at that starting rpm the black smoke would continue.

In Run silent run deep there is a description of the smoke pouring out of the four exhaust outlets as the boat moved forward at flank speed. (this is the novel mind you, not the movie).

When moving at flank or full, the sub was kicking up such a rukas behind it, stealth was no longer an issue so the smoke was really no matter.

yeah, most engines shouldnt have any smoke at all, because of the fuel levels. but still, there should be some evidence of someting leaving the exhaust ports
