As a rule of thumb, the best way to install this kind of mod is when in bunker. You don´t have to start a new campaign, AFAIK only icebergs mod requires that. This is why I´m not going to see them in the near future.

This MOD does not require new campaign. You can load while at sea or in port.

That would be wonderful. Could you tell us how to lower it or edit it out completely? Is it in the uboat.sim file?

Made some Minor changes that I should have had to start with last year.

Uploaded new UBoot_Sensors.sim that keeps the Rod Radio Antenna from Extending.

See Post #1 for more information.

QUESTION:
Is it possible to have Balkan Gerat and KDB Hydrophone at same time?
Were any boats ever really configured this way?

Although they Balkan Gerat can function while surfaced because the Hydrophone Head is on the keel of the boat. It does have a very distinct disadvantage. As Destroyers close on you, Sonar loses contact when they get close. A cone of silence above the UBoat where it can not hear. The GHG hydrophone also has this issue but a smaller cone of silence. This adds some difficulty when trying to avoid Depth Charges.

The KDB Hydrophone head does not function while surfaced. The Hydrophone Head is on the Deck towards the Bow of the boat, so you must be submerged at least 8 meters before it starts working.
The good thing is you do not lose contacts as they pass over you.

Even if is posible i not like to have both because is not immersive...

Glorious! You are my savior.

Anyone had compatibility issues with this and NewUIs, IRAI or FXfix?

Just installed the mod with stoianm renow costs zero. I´m still in 1940 (Type VII/C) but every item is available: decoys, RWR and so on. Is it supposed to be that way or did I do something wrong?

Not really. I mentioned that the Availability Dates and Renown Costs still need to be adjusted so I still have some research to do unless someone already has that info and wants to share it.
