@Sailor Steve: Thank you for your counter-points. I figured most would be impractical, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

I'm not interested in a fantasy game. If you re-read my opening comment, these are modifications that I would ask about if I was a U-boat Kaleun. I wouldn't ask for these to be incorporated into SH3, as they weren't historically available.

I understand that the Foke-Achgelis FA-330 had shortcomings as well, particularly when the boat needed to dive quickly, but it was reportedly effective early in the war. My point being that someone had to ask the question about it first.

Personally, I thought the anti-aircraft rockets had the most potential. I could envision them being fired off as soon as the crew was below deck and the hatch sealed.

Perhaps the swim-off electric decoy would need to have the ability to record sound, or receive sound from the controlling U-boat. This would allow it to broadcast the sound waves being received.

So to clarify, this is a "what if" sort of thread, not a SH3 modification want list. Sorry if my poor choice of a title threw you off.
