The AS also had the cable wrapped around it to help minimize the wake, whereas the OS did not.

I thought the cable was to reduce the vibrations not the wake.

Every time I play SH5 I use the AP. With the AP I can go to a depth of 16 meters, with the OP the max depth is 12m.

However in the movies I have seen the captain use the AP ony ONCe, i Das Boot. Even in the Wochenschau movies, or in U-Boote Westwärts I see the captain use the OP, where is the advantage of the OP?? ANd why should anyone use the AP??

Anyone have any ideas??
