SCU and what it changes?
What exactly does SCU do?
Sets sensors specific for each platform which it enables? Set tubes and potential weapon loads for each platform which it enables? Does SCU also alter top speeds and crush depths for the platforms which enables? What about sonar wash out and towed array failure speeds? And the speed cavitation chart? If it changes these how is a player suppose to now what the parameters are? Thanks.

SCU is a utility that allows you to make other submarines playable. And yes, their acoustic, sensor specifics, and mast configurations are set properly. The Russian subs you make playable usually use the Akula interface. The older American subs like Thresher/Permit Class and Sturgeon use the 688(I) interface.

Yes, it changes all those characteristics where appropriate.

Is there anyway to know such critical items as crush depth and cavitation values?
I am thinking that it would be hard to play an SCU platform effectively without that at hand. What did everyone do before they moved onto DW? Thanks.

Where do I get SCU? I went to SubGuru but did not find it Hope anybody can tell me where to find it because I really need to play these "new" scenarios!

Thanks a lot! Already found it and just installed it. I even dowloaded some campaigns (after installing SCX II and SCX IIc) but some campaigns do miss the playable subs. Does anybody know what to do or what I might have done wrong?

You havent done anything wrong, its more than likely just the way the mission/campaign has been set up. ie to only use certain platforms etc
