CCOM 12.0

[ivanov.ruslan]

Probably due to an increase in fuel at the expense of tonnage
But this is just a guess

[ivanov.ruslan]

Actually not, it is done in order to improve the speed of diving

But the effectiveness of this is called into question afterwards

[Fifi]

Oh really?
Interesting Ivanov...will try to search more infos about this strange IXC hull shape

From U-boat.net forums.

The "Schnelltauchback" modification was applied to some U-Boats in the later years of the war, when the Allies dominated the air. The reloads from external containers to the boat's internal stowage was rather difficult because of presence of the enemy airplanes.
Moreover, the external, upper deck torpedo containers were withdrawn from use because of frequent damages from depth charges. And finally, increasingly used G7e type torpedoes cannot be stored in upper deck due to impossibility of maintenance.
The number of internally carried torpedoes were not increased due to lack of room.
The modification reduced the dive-time because the narrowed shape of the upper deck facilitated the escape of air, which was traped under the casing. This - in turn - shortened the dive-time by about 10-15 sec.



Are the diving times reduced when you use this modification in the game?

Thank you my friend!
Excellent find. That explain a lot to me.

Yes, Rowi modeled the reduced time in Ccom12, as there is a .Sim file together with this hull
Rowi was meticulous fantastic modder!

I dont about anyone else but I like this mod but have real problems running it as it keeps crashing on either loading a save or loading from sh commander, my pc specs are fine i can run nygm easy no crashes and sh5 twos no problem but this is very unstable for me

Please give a list of mods you are running if any.

Thank you,

Good hunting,

Type IXD2 is done







One more left, the XXI...

Adding turm deck water evacuation when surfacing to all U-Boats



Working also when big wave smash the turm in bad weather.
