Hatches and doors

Good picture....though a little far away, i like to see it about 15m above and off to the side, where you can see the inside of the room pan across as the U-boat goes past.

Anyway, you get the picture!

Small addition:
After a long dive and accordingly bad air the bulkheads would all be opened, since the Diesels were then able to suck in the air through the main hatch and the whole boat, thus venting the boat through much faster - this is being described in several books ..

Would be great if the sim modeled details like leaving the conning tower hatch open at night aided enemy visability of you...and shuting the compartment doors restricted flooding eh!

I actually think it's retarded having the hatches and doors there, fully functional, and NOT program that functionality in. It's so obvious..
