U boat upgrade & snorkel
Years ago I played the GWX version. I could 'upgrade' the U boat if I wished.
Now I'm running the SH3 2015 version. I'm in a campaign in January 1944. I would like to be able to use the snorkel, and/or change to a newer Uboat than a VIIC if it has one. I'm not seeing how to do either? Any help please? |

Thanks for replying @Pisces.
The version is Living Silent III 2015 Edition. I'm not a computer Luddite, but not far removed. Years ago I did manage to install JGSME & played GWX 3.0. I can't remember if my pc died or if it got corrupted, but the next time I tried to install the above I couldn't get it to work. Xmas past I got a new pc built, & the builder had a better internet than I do, so he downloaded the 2015 version above, & a SH4 & 5 via Steam. It does seem to have bugs.....confusion with which port the sub is based. With the GWX version, once enough renown was earned, it was possible to change to a more modern Sub, and the game version I'm using now sends Messages.... "U-boat updates now available" I'm not aware of anything being done automatically. Is the snorkel fitted by default, or does it have to be bought? |

I'm sure those familiar with Living Silenthunter 3 2015 can respond to that, as I don't know anything about it. There must be a thread about it where you can find more information also.
For GWX 3 (but I understand that is old news for you at this time) For the snorkel (or other equipment) to be added you also need to be within a certain time period if I remember correctly. And it requires a certain amount of renown to have before you can equip it.
