Great idea for mod, looking forward to play it

Awsome work am try reuload beter quality foto of u-boot s
am hope is a help you in your project.

Good luck and good hunt.

Sorry for the late reply folks.

Thank you Alpha Von Burg! This has left me scratching my head for months!

I think I can actually start to work out the conning tower, dashboard shouldn't be too hard. Have to look at some pics of Italian Subs with this kind of roofed conning tower with port holes.

The tank artillery periscopes might be a problem. Guess it's another case of googling pics again.

Have you seen these photos of a model yet?

Please tell me that is a model available to buy as a kit?

danasan · 09-25-12, 08:48 AM

I'm sorry, but it seems as if these guys make every needed part on their own.

I'll try to contact them for more information.

more ship and info. next time

Alpha Von Burg · 03-24-13, 04:33 AM

Just thought this might come in handy. Its a development report on the type XI-B U-Cruiser you're working on.

I don't buy it. For a start 26 knots is way too high for such a boat, it would have meant sacrificing underwater performance to the extent that it would be able to dive but not much else. WW2 submarine design had already to deal with such a delicate balance between surface and underwater perfomance that throwing in a substantial artillery armament, with its attendant requirements in terms of stability, supporting equipment, armor mass etc made the problem effectively untractable.
Improving one area could be done only by robbing perfomance somewhere else. Technology could help a bit but that would cost extra money and time.

Alpha Von Burg · 03-28-13, 05:32 AM

I agree that 26 knots might be a lot and that underwater speed would have been sacrificed. Then again, this boat would seem more fit for surface attacks than submerged attacks.

Also I doubt that a fully operational model was tested and achieved a result of 26 knots, its more likely that it was a test without the turret and ammunition on board.
