Snorkel questions

xXNightEagleXx · 11-07-15, 06:28 AM

Is the snorkel enabled in the default installation of WOTS? I mean at the moment it is inactive but will it get active/enabled after an upgrade in the future or do i have to manually enable it? If so when would be a realistic date to actually have it? i want to keep the historical immersion but i don't know when it became available and to which uboat models

Regards

No.

The Snrkel can be enabled by making a change in TDW' Options File Editor Viewer in the Submarine Tab.

Yes...Upgrade will become available in early 1943 and it will replace your deck gun...

Now i'm confused XD

Wikipedia says that Germany used the snorkel, as a device that allow to use diesel engine underwater, from 1943 (just like vdr1981 said). Can you guys confirm that?

Hi NE

I understand what Vecko is telling you in that the Snorkel is part of a U-boat upgrade at the correct time in the war.

You can however cheat and install a Snorkel whenever you want.
It is placed on the left side of your bridge but will obscure some of your vision as it is rather large.

It sounds like the one Vecko is referring to raises from the deck plates?

Thanks. I'll stick to the history, i just didn't understand why there was an option in the TDW.

Peter, since you recommend use of snorkels provided with TDW New UIs, do you have any comment on yellow footnote at the bottom of this post?

Hi Vecko

I have used the snorkel previously with a version of sobers mods list without any problems a while ago now but I have never tried to use it with TWOS as I am using historically correct upgrades.

There will always be gamers who look for something different or wish to add something different.

Sometimes it will work and sometimes not, our views will not necessarily stop them from trying.
