When I enabled it I was in the bunker before the start of a new mission.
As I said I did not have any problems with it but at the time I probably was only using around 50 mods mostly taken at the time from sobers mod list.

Thanks...If you test TDW snorkels with WoS in various situations , please let me know the results...

Hi Vecko

It might be some time.
I have been playing for nearly 3 years and not been out of the Total Germany yet.
However saying that I am less than 6 weeks away from Happy Times with TWOS.

1943 still looks a long snorkel away.

I am using the TWoS Mod. BTW It is so awesome!

The date of my campaign is currently December 27 1943.

I enabled the snorkel in every type submarine available in the TWoS - Options File Editor before leaving port.

When I submerge the snorkle is not deployed automatically. My submarine [Type VII] only has battery/motor propulsion when submerged.

I cannot find ANY information regarding the actual deployment or actuation of the snorkel. BTW when I select snorkel depth the submarine does go to snorkel depth but the submarine speed never exceeds battery propulsion levels.

Can someone give me a clue?

Thanks in advance.

Speed on a schnorkel was 6 knots to avoid tube vibration and damage or rupture of the tubes....much less pressure ear-damage to the crew from wave strikes to the schnorkel head. Likewise, submerged speed on a raised periscope at 6-7 knots on battery power tended to make the instrument useless, particularly the attack scope, also from tube vibration causing unrepairable damage to the optics.

Thanks.

My submarine does show the Snorkel installed however it is never shown raised. I was under the impression that I would be required to press a button as is shown in quite a few youtube videos in order to raise the snorkel. That is not something I can find in my installation. I have bound a keyboard shortcut [edited the keyboard.cfg file] for the snorkel but nothing happens when I press the key?
