How to Raise Maximum Periscope Extension?

Stiebler · 12-07-07, 04:21 PM

I got tired of constantly trying to see over high waves whilst at periscope depth in a heavy storm. The obvious solution would be to allow the periscope to extend higher for each U-boat type (the current restriction is too low for realism), but I can't find the parameter in any of the files. Presumably I have overlooked it somewhere. Does anyone know where to look? And I don't mean changing 'periscope depth' in the NSSubmarinexxx.cfg files! Sometimes it is useful to extend the periscope to see your target, even if it does mean greater risk of being seen oneself.

Obviously, one cannot raise the schnorchel height, but I noticed recently, for the first time, that the constant oscillation of the engine-room crew between diesel and electric engine rooms during a storm (as the waves keep breaking over the schnorchel, shutting off the air flow) causes a massive deterioration in the engine room crew's fatigue. Presumably this problem affects stock and GWX, as well as NYGM. Something to watch out for on long schnorchel patrols. When the weather is rough, schnorchel only at night, and closer to the surface than normal schnorchel depth to avoid this problem.

Thanks for any help.
