if memory serves right, system limitations of SH4 prevented the snorkel to work as intended. Is this the case (still) ?

i believe the snorkel works...for the engines only.
it will not supply O2 to the crew.
i have not used the snorkel in a very long time so i cannot remember any details.
why do you think it does not work?

I recalled something along these lines from the first time I played SH4 (back when lurker released the first version of Ops Monsoon). I thought maybe someone found a workaround for the crew-O2 maybe.

we wish.

that is buried...somewhere deep in an ACT or possibly in a DLL.

it's possible that someone in the community knows where that O2 code resides but there are still NDA's involved and, while we can and have modified the .MIS and .UPC et.al., modifying the other files is strictly forbidden.

what can one do?

So much only, ofc. so Ubi still won't give it away... Listen, I was trying on a synopsis of various ways to play a uboat (here: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...04#post2727604).
It came up that Dark Waters had issues with progressing through boats? i.e. start in Type II, stick with Type II - basically?

DW does not follow the same career model as does the US Career.
the DW model is to play as Kaleun of a particular Type of Uboat until you are killed or your boat is retired. then you are expected to start another career with a different boat type.

Now....having said that, it IS possible for a Kaleun to offered an upgrade from one boat to another, especially late in the was when the newer-Type Uboats become available. Take care though, migrating from a Type 9 to a Type 21 is a huge change from an ocean-going marauder to a boat with two torpedos.

and that is how it works, more-or-less.
when i want to drive a German Uboat, i play DW and no longer play German Stock or Op Monsun or even SH3.

good luck, Herr Kaleun!

Thanks for clearing that up. Contrary to SH5 you have the option to chose your boat - I can live with that, although I personally always liked to start in Type II, get promoted to 7, rebase to Pengnang (Type 9) etc.

Hey yall, this is probably really dumb but is there a tutorial, either something written or a video I could get my hands on to explain the updated TDC for the Uboats? The original OM mod used the base German TDC where you could take the range, determine AOB, and speed which once input would get you a firing solution. This seems to have disappeared, which is ok, but now I am lost with how to even get the range let alone input it into the solution. It might be I am just too dumb to figure it out but if anyone has some tips or better yet a tutorial of some kind I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks yall
