Snorkelwake discovered!?

FLB sale U-999 · 10-15-05, 09:13 AM

Hy guys,

have played a night attack with a 21 Boat.

Looked through Peri and found the missing second wake for Snorkel.

but why don`t we have it on Typ 9 Boats?

Hmmm, interesting.

Any ideas?

Greetings Sale

Yeah, noticed that before. I imagine the Typ XXI uses a different snorkel model than the Typ VII/IX's - as it goes straight up from the conning tower rather than rising from a horizontal position on the deck.

Which probably has something to do with it.

A highly inspired modder could possibly come by and add missing wakes and reflections... Too bad that's not me

Personally I don't really care about the reflections, the wakes are more important for immersiveness sakes, a.t.m it looks very stupid seeing the Schnorkel move tru the water like that

I think they're both equally important. Real snorkels have both a wake and a reflection. Remove either and it destroys the feeling of reality.
