Snorkel is very good idea but CO2 issue ruins it somehow...

Nah, knowing Ducis planes, none of us are going to use it anyway... unless he makes it like 300 meters long

I suspect some folks who eventually try this mod, have no idea about those planes. I shall have colorful vindictive heaped upon my name as the shock factor will be too much to bear for some.

To be fair, ill probably tone down the depth at which air drop depth charges detonate to offset the lack of extendable air search radar, and i'll probably limit underwater detection to multi engine planes and not any single seaters.

(I used historical depth numbers on air dropped DC's in TMO from jap interregation reports BTW)

ASW plane has to detect submerged snorkeling U-boat. This is not as easy as detecting U-boat sailing surfaced because:

- aerial radar detection range is much shorter against snorkel

- visual detection range is also shorter

Thus snorkeling should improve U-boat stealthiness against Allied ASW aircrafts.


PS. It is always possible another modder downgrade Duci's uber-planes to the stock ones.

Or Ducimus might have a few options to select from!

I learned awhile ago that it doesn't matter how i design a mod, i will never please everyone. That and no matter what i do, or what i include, or how much i include, people will overlay umpteen mods over the top of it anyway.

So the only thing i can do, is design the mod to what i think is best by my own judgment. Nobody may believe it, but i do actually think ahead, and think things out, considering all elements at play, before i make a design decision.

I know it will be very good, you put your heart into what you do, but everyone's taste is different, therefore you can't please them all!
