They look like mini U-boats, maybe they should have been fitted with a couple of torp. tubes and trim tanks, so the shot down Luft. fliers could get some payback. But then they would have to have a mini crew waiting, when the pilot swam up and boarded:
Vhat are your orders, Her Kaluen!!

Ahh! I saw one of these in 'We Dive at Dawn' and wondered what it was all about. That one was fitted with a radio, though I suspect that was a fiction, I can't see radios being left drifting in the channel, not to mention the power for them.

There were, infact, radios in them.
Check the link in the first post.
It has a good breakdown on the Udets.

But from my research, no downed flyer ever reached a Udet
to raise the flag or radio in.

It's a different story with the Cuckoo.

This add-on was made for CFS3 so many years ago.
