" Oxygen-Supply So far, SH3 models only a 100% renewable oxygen (O2) supply. That means: After a long period of diving, say 40 hours, it was enough to surface and after that the Uboat was able to dive for 40 hours again and again. Now, with this patch, O2 is divided into two parts: A renewable part and a non-renewable part. The renewable part is the O2 in the air of the Uboat. This part is sufficient for a diving period of about 5-7 hours. During this time the LI informs you about the O2 content of the air, starting at the normal value 21% and slowly decreasing to the critical value of 17%. At 17%, the LI automatically starts to adds O2 from the oxygen-supply (contained in pressure bottles). This O2 supply is sufficient for a long diving period of about 30 - 100 hours (depending on Uboat type), but that O2-supply is non-renewable! That means: It is not filled up when surfacing. Only the O2 in the air is restored to the normal value of 21% when surfacing. From now on the Player has to act economically regarding O2 supply, what adds a new strategical component to the game. The consumption of oxygen depends on the current crew number. The more crew, the more O2 is consumed. The consumption of O2 will be lowered if the crew is on silent-running routine. The net effect is that the U-boat can stay submerged longer. Repairing, flooding recovery and reloading of torpedoes will boost the O2 consumption." From HSIEoptions help file! |

Because in reallity you could not go above 3 knots with the periscope risen!

Then their is 3 pieces to the air issues that a Uboat had. First is the air in the boat when you close the hatch.The oxygen starts to get used up and you will notice CO saying "oxygen at 19%...18%".Then he will say oxygen used up starting to use the oxygen cannisters to replenish oxygen(the uboat also has scrubbers to remove the carbon dioxide). The oxygen cannisters are not replenishable but the oxygen that is used up first is....all you have to do is open the hatch and in 2 minutes the boat is full for another few hours before the oxygen cannisters have to be used again. Then their is a compressed air tank onboard a sub that is used to blow the ballast tanks.This tank is filled when you surface as a compressor slowly compresses the air in the tank. Hope that helps instead of confuses. And BTW....where is Hsie??I hope he comes back to this as it adds in alot of good stuff that SH3 needs. |

Maybe he means the compressed air?

Try this....submerge long enough till your using stored oxygen then surface and watch the messages.At one point the CO will say something like oxygen in boat is replenished...after around 2 minutes real time. |

head back in to port.And how does the port recharge oxygen suppy if you say that is unreplenishable ?

BTW the patch kit includes a new O² gauge.

CO² isn't consumed, it's breathed out by crew members. That causes an increase of CO² percentage in the air whilst the boat is submerged. This is very dangerous since a CO² percentage above 8 % is lethal within 30 - 60 min.
