Playable Viic/41 [mod Release - Page 3

Duli · 03-11-07, 02:11 PM

Yes, it helped.

I also tried the u-boat in a single mission, where you have to sink RN Italia battleships. I was able to constantly "sail" at 310m, without any damage.

Penelope_Grey · 03-11-07, 02:22 PM

Wow! If you can get under the 300m you are then officially safe from depthcharges.

310m thats more than 1000 feet!!!

Duli · 03-11-07, 02:58 PM

I thought so too. But the thing was, that a dc destroyed my conning tower with both periscopes and all the flak guns.

WilhelmSchulz. · 03-11-07, 04:14 PM

ummmm. Wasent the VIIC/41 modled in the game from the start. Its in the stock game.

But Great work.

Penelope_Grey · 03-11-07, 04:29 PM

yes it is, but the VIIC/41 in stock is just a clone of the regular VIIC. Though via SH3 commander it did get the greater diving depth. But this is a more accurate rendition of it with the increased bow and the forward life raft canisters.

Weren't the VIIC/41 type of subs also used for mine laying during the war

mountainmanUK · 03-11-07, 05:18 PM

Not too sure, but I think the minelaying boats were the 6 Type VIID's built.

However, there is a mention of the Type VIIC/41's from U1271 onwards having their mine fittings "removed", so maybe they DID do minelaying ops!

I am one happy bunny here, cobalt!

GT182 · 03-11-07, 07:05 PM

Excellent work Cobalt and thanks.

:hmm: I'd think this should get you "Kaptaian of the Month".

cobalt · 03-11-07, 07:46 PM

Do you guys think I should update the ZON file for the non commander users? It's something I overlooked before release. Without an updated ZON file, the people not using commander won't get an increased crush depth.

Venatore · 03-11-07, 07:48 PM

Try to cater for all users, I wish I could do the same for my mods.

GT182 · 03-11-07, 07:48 PM

It might be a nice thing to do. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

danurve · 03-11-07, 08:19 PM

I used the Commander install and confused to having the correct boat.
First I'd like to know when the /41 was available, mid August perhaps? I ask because I was in early June and went to load the mission and the caladar ticked down to August 9th. Used f12 to look at the boat and I don't have dual flak but there are 4 or so extra tiny hatches off to one side forward. And the ring antenna tucked away and the other antenna shows.
Rolled back to the VIIB for now, I can't see upgrading untill I can get dual flak.
