Interesting question Myxale!
I don't think there is a way to clone the stock animation because the rigging of the stock crew is sure to be different from mine. But as an alternative, it should be possible to create a danger animation and apply it to the state machine status of being attacked. Unfortunately, I don't know much about state machine controlles and their possibilities, so Diving Duck would be the man to answer this question. Best regards, MCHALO12.

My current helmsman, Harvey, is not going to be happy about this. But at least the new guy won't shed rabbit fur all over the control room.
GREAT WORK! Can't wait to see how this all turns out. |

Moin Magic,
wait until you see the animated version, I like it very much! @FrauKaleun: Do you want to talk about the conditions on your boat? Perhaps an exterminator would help? Best regards, MCHALO12.

Bah
I think the 'bench' is absolute fiction.
In No way does this represent German design. It's my informed opinion that this was something the Norwegian navy came up with as a 'comfort' item. Das Boot's researchers merely copied what they saw in the only surviving Type ViiC |

I've been going through the books I have with war-time pictures of u-boat control rooms. This is the only one I've found so far, from "U-Boats Under The Swastika":
This is a picture that the author credits to the Imperial War Museum in London. The reason that there's an RN officer at the 'scope is because this is U-570, the VIIC that was captured by the British in 1941. Whether or not the British added the same bench to this control room that the Norwegians may or may not have added to another VIIC's zentrale, is a question I can't answer... but it seems like it would be quite a coincidence. In addition, it's my understanding that the RN left U-570 pretty much the way they found her in terms of design although I could be wrong about that. |

I dont know the facts exactly, havent been on such a boat during ww2. But when sailing the boat in normal service (no attack run, etc.) the helmsman sit at the lower controls in the command room on this "bench". Only during "Alarm" and the crew at battlestations the helmsman sit in the tower, near the captain. This is, what i read so far.
Any other news on that?

No it's not - that's HMS Graph!
Just so no one gets the wrong idea, HMS Graph was the name the British gave U-570.

No...she was never modified and was taken out of commission in 42 because of a lack of spare parts.
