Default I caved!

And bought the game last night, so far aside from the few glitches i am quite happy with the game.... but not the boat i am forced to skipper.....

Is there a way to find the draft of the target boat (i've looked everywhere but cant find any info on this)

Do we really not get the chance to change boat?

Only variations of the VII............ at the moment. There are folders present for other subs, but it looks like it will be DLC in the future, if they're not modded in first.

the draft should be in the recognition manual. If not, there is a enhanced recognition manual mod available which shows it. This is what I use.

Have fun, its a great game.

Adding the Recognition Manual mod is the only way to get keel depth...

Not quite the only way. The torpedo depth selector shows the keel depth of the ship you have the scope locked on to.
