VIIC/42

[robj250]

I think you guys have convinced me.

I have one more question. The only disadvantage is that it's a little slower than the VIIB. How about it's diving time? Faster or slower?

I like the idea of having 2 extra torpedoes, hehe. I can always use 'em.

Now. Do I have to do a roll-back with commander after I change to the VIIC/42?

I know I have to do a roll-back to ad any mods. Speaking of mods, will the camo that I'm using now, can it be used on the VIIC/42?

Sorry to be a pest, but I like the best and to do the best job I can in these missions. :rotfl: :rotfl:

All the VIIC's dive quicker than the VIIB. The only boat that dives quicker than the VIIC is the IID and the XXI. But of the standard fighting boats on offer IX's and VII's. The VIIC family dive the quickest.

Rob if you change Submarine via the upgrade menu on the Port screen in-game you don't really need to rollback SH3Cmd. That said rolling back every time you're in port before starting a new patrol is recomended as that way you will have a better kept system. As far as the skins are concerned I don't know, although I think it might work on VIIC/42, VIIC and VIIB as well. just in case it doesn't make sure you enable them using JSGME.

Hi Mel.

If the Winter camo that I have on my VIIB does not work properly, is there a similar skin for the VIIC?

Thanks everyone for the information. Greatly appreciated.

The reason I'm asking these questions, is because I still have Silent Hunter still open, so that I can make the change.

I doubt there will be one for another type of VII that's why I'm suggesting it might actually work. Have a look in this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=88849 and see what types of skins exist. If you need any one in particular let me know and I'll upload it for you. I have quite a few skins for VII type boats on my installation so tell me which one you like (or even style, colour etc) and I'll send it to you. Just make sure you enable them via JSGME

I just checked the mods I have installed and I have "FurbarsVIIC41 U997", so it should fit the VIIC/42, right?

Without being 100% sure I think it should work with VIIC/42. As I said before use JSGME to enable it, so if it doesn't work you can disable it without messing up your installation. Rob I'm really sorry I cannot be of any more help, but unfortunatelly I do rely on the help and readme files of the skins as well. I hope it works fine for you mate. Good Luck

Well, I'm going to change to the VIIC/42.

All you people that responded have been a great help, for me to make a difficult decision.

All the best to you all.
