Looks great. Will give it a try.

Would be sweet to get to have a dedicated button for this on the left side, together with the surface and periscope buttons imo.

I imagine that running with decks awash would/should make it harder for hostile ships to spot you.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Nice one

[rededge]

Good one!

Thanks, will try soon.

Q: Exactly how does this mod work?

Do we set the depth ourselves?

Edit: When I press "surface" button, the uboat seem stay at around 6-7-8 meters and not really surfacing. So I guess that this mod replaces the default surface depth. Which I think is unfortunate. Also if this is the case, the OP did not indicate this.

also faster dive times. unless im mistaken, later type VIIs had air intakes and exhausts openings on the top of the conning tower so you could theoretically travel on diesels as well [if the game allows this?]

[coronas]

Well done!
Curiosity: Does it work with electric or diesel engines?

@Decoman
Yep thats how its done
Was done that was in SH3 but when I tried it on SH5 got the same results
Surfacing is set at whatever the cfg say - around 7\8 mtrs at a guess

@ Thruster
Whilst trying the deck awash I found that at 7mtr the electrics kicked in no matter what deoth you set on the cfg so gotta be a value or a trigger for that somewhere
Be nice to be able to use Elecs topside too

I use Voice Recog and now that I do I consider it to be essential (it's incredible and Skjwaser is adding more Commands all the time). I currently shout "New Depth, 6 meters!" above the din of the diesel engines and I essentially get decks awash. You can see on the TAI that the surface vessels range of visual detection reduces dramatically . Ordering 7 meters depth, removes the crew from the bridge and switches to electrics. I don't like the stock feature of having to go down the ladder to order periscope depth. If I wanna ride my boat straight to Davey Jones' Locker, that's my business

The abiltiy of this MOD to allow you to open/close the hatch is intersting. I'll give it a try now and report back shortly...

Also much slower speeds and higher fuel usage. They didn't just run all over the Atlantic at 'decks awash'. It was usually reserved for attack approaches, and would be done with electrics anyway, as diesels are still noisy and still smoke.

Thanks for this mod, my navigater loves you!
