Snorkel - Is it in the game?

Ok, thanks. I thought I read something about the snorkel in the manual.

Most allies did not really understand the concept. The Britisch Admiralty even wanted Dutch subs to remove their snorts when they arrived in the UK after Holland had been invaded by the Germans.

They just did not want any unnecessary holes in the pressure hull. Of course they did have a point because snorts where not needed in the beginning of the war.

Ok, I found it.... On page 52, under Depth Control.

Quote:

Depth Control
Depth changes are requested by clicking on the depth meter. Two versions of this instrument are available. The fine version, marked up to 165 ft, is useful when requesting depth changes near the surface in order to run at periscope depth or snorkel depth or surface the boat. All these important depth settings are clearly marked on the instrument.

So, the manual says the depth control is useful in order to run at snorkel depth. But there is no snorkel. That IS handy!

Its an unremoved thing from sh3 like other files and data.

it is useless because snorkels objects and animations aren´t modelled,
other think are the decoys, only used by german submarines.

In the flavored to taste mod, Ducimus made it radar depth.
