Type XXI Tips and Tricks

Tinman764 · 09-12-13, 04:33 PM

I picked up SH3 after a long while away and I decided instead of doing my normal trick of starting a career from '38 and trying to survive the entire war, I would start my new career in '44 as the driver of a brand new type XXI.

Needless to say, operating her is very different to the II's and VII's that I am used to and after searching around the forum I couldn't find much info.

I'm using GWX and HSIE's exe patch.

Snorkelling - does this also replenish the air on the boat, or does it just allow the diesels to run while submerged?

Radar and radar warning receiver: I think I have these, but I'm not sure. I can't find any way to turn the radar on and off or raise the mast (if it requires raising).
I also cannot find out how to determine if my warning receiver is working, or where the display is. I'd rather not wait until my 1st contact to figure all this out!
