Had you edited the UpgradeClass lines?

i did.
T2 = 1
T7C = 2
T7D = 3
T9D2 = 4

every other boat has an upgrade class of one.

SH4 skipped over the T7D for its own reasons.

i could not find the answer in a forum or a google search so my apologies if this has been answered previously.

steaming in a Type7C, mid-1942. the equipment list says we have a Seetakt29 (surface) radar but the icon in the HUD is ghosted and i cannot go to the radar screen.

i have browsed all sorts of related files but the answer is not an obvious one, hence this post.
ActiveUserPlayerUnit has an entry for surface radar:

[UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 2]
ID=RadarAntennaFront
NameDisplayable=Radar Antenna
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes

ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D=3

EfficiencyHumanFactor=1.000000
EfficiencyMechanicFactor=1.000000

but the Uboat7C.SNS file does not have an entry:

;Radar

LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

;RadioDF

;Radar Warning

EndDate=19441001

[Sensor 10]
NodeName=R02
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231;Radar

i've also browsed the Type7C.dat file....nothing.
and i've browsed the Senzori file in the Library...nada.

so, what am i missing in order to make this thing work?

I’ve been trying to get your NYGM mod working on my steam deck but have given up sadly. It just won’t do the widescreen.

SH4 on the other hand, works great on the Steam Deck. And I just discovered Dark Waters. Makes me all excited to play in a Uboat again. How would you say it compares to NYGM? I was able to play the base NYGM mod for a while, just not widescreen. Got away from it as it was just too hard to do stuff on the small screen.

Thanks!

playing DW (obviously) and looking ahead to the time that my base (Toulon) shuts down.

Toulon is the final base of the squadron/flotilla.
the VIIC that i am driving has a IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL.

so....how does SH4 compute my next port-of-call when my base reaches its expiration date?

can my valiant crew and i just fade into the south France countryside and pretend to be pensioned French poilu and await the end of the war?

Wondering how many of you used my night surface attack mod when allowed historical attacks in DW, including from inside convoys.

Looking for feedback to compare with my experiences.

i almost did one, quite by accident.

we were making our approach and fired at four targets. i thought i had given the order to dive the boat, however, as the four torpedoes hit, we began to to take topside damage from gunfire.

opp forces are very accurate however my valiant crew was able to dive the boat without serious damage or injury.

i think we were within 3000m when we launched, moving at 1-2 kts. so, we were close.

IMHO, i doubt that we could have penetrated the formation, attacked, and escaped all on the surface.

I have, it's better than stock, but needs to be even better to imitate closer attacks like in real life IMO. BTW Sir, can I use it in other mods, or is it DW only? I just checked, I have it second on the list in JSGME
