Hey sorry if this is a dumb question but I've been trying to do a career in the Type XXIII and I've noticed that the snorkel actually doesn't ventilate the ship which defeats part of the purpose of the snorkel and makes using the Type XXIII really awkward considering it was meant to operate primarily underwater. I thought the maybe it was just a bug with that ship and tried the Type XXI only to have the same issue. I'm not sure if its just with these two ships or really any other German submarine that also has a snorkel on it as well. I think I might just be doing something wrong however which is why I'm here asking. I've also noticed that on the Type XXIII and XXI I can't use the snorkel at periscope depth which I'm pretty sure I should. In fact in the XXI I can only use the snorkel if I'm surfaced!

firstly, welcome to subsim.
secondly, the snorkel can be used to run the diesels only. it will not refresh the CO2. it is a design flaw by Ubi.
not sure why the type 21 snorkel will not work properly. i'll look into that.

Oh I see. Thank you for the help.

just tested the Type 21 and discovered that SH4 will not re-charge the batteries under any circumstances.

so....use of the snorkel is immaterial if one cannot re-charge the batteries.

so, as it is, if you want to drive a Type 21, you must use the Game Option for unlimited Battery Power. you set that by clicking on the Filing Cabinets, then Gameplay Options.

Hi

I use RAOBF to get target range,
But it shows different results than when measured using a ruler on the attack map.

Is RAOBF's measuring is not good for get true range?
And how about "Stock RAOBF"? mod?

Thanks
