The Type 23 is an interesting choice for an "upgrade" because it's range is a fraction of the range of the 9D2.

So it seems logical upgrade option and new bases
Only bad side is...type 23 is still old looking submarine, i couldn’t import new 3D model because it doesn’t exist with TKSS standards (of what i know)

Hi,

I just started playing Dark Waters. In the attack periscope there is a circular wheel which I assume is for range finding but have no experience with, just wondering if there is a tutorial for it? I also cant seem to find the stadimeter or was it purposely removed?

The circular wheel is called RAOFB, and was not used in WW2 U-Boats (but it was there, i left it as it was)
Nevertheless you can find tutorials on forum (with a little search )

Stadimeter is there and working, you just have to lock target first, and you will see the button for it becoming red (top periscope window)

Thanks, and sorry for the noob questions. When I try to enable the older version of RAOBF the game stops loading near the end and I get a message: "File not found: data/menu/ksd_main_interface/chronometer/chronometer.tga." I click ok a few times and then it finishes loading.

however...........i am still based in Penang. My first mission in the IO exceeds the range of the Type 23 and there is no forward base or milch cow to replenish. And we are armed with just TWO torpedoes. all we will do with two fish is piss off somebody and get stranded in our escape.

a less-experienced Kaleun might think this is an upgrade but it is not. The 23 is a regional boat and probably should only be assigned to an area that has regional patrol areas: meaning closer to the European network of bases. you may want to put this on the list of things to look at when you decide to update DW.

for the record...i am keeping my 9D2.

Yes best is to keep the IXD2, nothing has been done for those type XXIII
