I'm posting here rather than the Mods Workshop, as this is not yet an available mod. It can be easily done though.

This from Ducimus;

"I'll post this as a mod later, but its late, and this is something you can do yourself if you want.

To get periscope animations back, all you need to do, is use the conning tower DAT files from SH version 1.2. I just reinstalled SH4, explicitly to grab those dats to see if it would work and it does.

The only thing your missing is the Radar and hydrophone labels. All though the switch's and everything else work just fine, its just the labels that are missing.

Also the green light indicator on the hydrophone is located below the handle of the hydrophone itself while operating it. The green light works, its just not up top like it is in the 1.3 dat file.

edit: I tried to extract the texture files from the newer dat file to import into the older dat file, but no dice. None of the DAT tools from SH3 seem to work, just FYI so your not spinning your wheels."
