Snorkel Questions
I get the purpose of a snorkel. From what I read its for emergency engines.
I dont see any options for it, but when I open the Balao cfg it has a option for it listed. Maybe its one of those upgrades? it Aug 1943 in the career. In any case ... Whats it used for, and when can I get one? How is it operated? |

The snorkel was added to German u-boats in the later part of the war so they could recharge batteries below the surface. You will not get one in a US sub.
The command for raising & lowering the snorkel is used for lowering & raising the US radar antenna at periscope depth. I've set up a keystroke command for radar depth (about 15 meters) and separate one for raising & lowering the radar antenna. Last edited by von Zelda; 09-02-19 at 03:16 PM. |
