We’re working on improving the submarine dynamics (underwater drag mainly) in relation to the customizable items on the deck: deck gun, conning tower, flak guns. This feature is still some ways away, though!

I wonder if they've found accurate figures for the underwater effects of removing the deck gun? This has been an unanswered (as in factually answered, rather than speculatively answered) question around here and u-boat.net for years.

I also hope addition of snorkel is included in this feature as well as wintergarten updates (more/less flak guns etc).

Still, a positive inclusion.

It's also nice to know that it's highly unlikely that I'm gonna have to pat my crew's bums every four hours and toddle them off to their bunks with a cup of Horlicks.
