@Swooper Villain, odd, should be able to go up to a ripping 16 knots on overboost. It does go only 6 knots, but only either on electric motors or when schnorcheling.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something with the engines but I can't get the sub to go over 6 knots. It's an awesome vessel though! Trying out some improved conquest WW2 with it

@onno.merhar, not sure I quite understand what you mean, but to dive, simply enable the electric engines, advance the engine telegraph (at the helmsman station), and press the Periscope Depth button in the control room. The sub will do everything else automatically :-)

I cant dive it is tried som much what do i do

:-) Coming soon to a workshop near you...

Indeed lol, you have done a wonderful submarine my Lad. I hope to see more of em when you get around to doing more subs :D

How odd. Good idea, though a large and time consuming project.

Also a small request: There is a lack of American WW2 submarines after 2021. A Balao or Gato class submarine sounds like funnnn :D

Reloading the game does indeed mess with the dive planes
To add on that is that manually using the dive planes is impossible for some reason. They fight every change I try to input

So far I have no issues with the Dive planes. Curious

@creeperhead116, very odd. Yes, filling the tubes can cause issues, but any and all should be resolved by emptying them. Perhaps try respawning, or using the trim tanks (advanced).

It is still forcing the sub upwards. But it does hold depth in schnorkel mode again. The issue appear to be when the tubes are flooded. It becomes worse with each one flooded. Emptying the tubes does not fix the issue.

I didn't mess with the dive planes yet but I've realized that it happened after I flooded the torpedo tubes. I did the 3rd tube and 2nd tube, stopped the 3rd tube and started the 1st tube. at some point the issue with the slow descent began but I emptied the tubes and dive planes switched to force the sub to surface properly. The sub surfaced but the forward dive plane is still trying to forced the sub up while the main ballast is slowly filling itself now.

Apologies but I must add on to the issue, I've yet to try your suggestion but I hadn't yet reloaded the game or had the sub leave the range it'd disappear yet. But I set the sub to snorkel depth and it held for a few minutes before starting to descend slightly. I decided to surface and at some point the dive planes moved to try to force the sub underwater after the ballast had emptied. Will try your suggestion now although I don't know how to properly operate the dive planes without them fighting back. Love the Sub though. It's been wonderful when it doesn't wanna cooperate lol

@creeperhead116, how strange. Try using the diving planes manually then going back to surfaced depth. That should resolve the issue.

There appears to be issues with the dive planes and automatic Ballast controls after Saving and loading the game. The dive planes want to force the submarine to dive even though it is set to surfaced. It does the same with the other depth modes too.

@thisissparta138, the torpedoes have a realistic speed, though you can easily change their speed by selecting the movement controller on each torpedo. Happy hunting!
@cpt jack1212121, how odd. Never experienced this issue. Is this surface or submerged running?

not sure if i am doing something wrong but the torpedoes are very slow.

it seems like the auto depth kinda goes wonky after refueling, is there any fix to this

I love this thing so much dude it works so well

@Outlaw_Bravo32 YT, as stated in the description, behind both engines at the engine control panel.

how do i activate electric engine mode

Finaly another Uboat, stormworks subs are very fun to use especialy the realistic ones

@Deep Sleep, too many projects to be honest haha. Type 23 at the moment.

hey nitty just curious what are you currently working on?

ok thanks!

@poolypop, while not strictly true to form to the real one, these G7es TV torps have active sonar, which means it pulses the ping node at regular intervals. This can track stopped or unmoving targets, but it can also accurately track you, so be careful when using it.

how does the active sonar direction for torpedos work?

oh ok

@Le_pigeon3, Type 23 coming soonTM
@Souge, I am glad you like it! Doors not included for realism, as it was one floodable compartment IRL.

this is by far my no.1 favourite sub just need doors inside

Thx for telling me, do you plan on making more submarines btw ?

@Le_pigeon3, aim ahead of the target with the periscope/sonar, or shoot in line with the target.

And now, the real question, how can I hit a moving target ?

I have gotten many requests for a very basic submarine demonstrator, might do that in the future.

@Le_pigeon3, no worries. It's pretty simple. The torpedoes by default will hold their course the direction the sub is pointing, and will track targets via sonar, and do 180 deg turns if it loses the target. Note that it can track the sub if you are not careful, as it did IRL. On the torpedo panel, you can change a bunch of stuff, most self explanatory, but you can also change the firing angle. Using either the periscope or sonar, you can make the torpedo turn once it leaves the tube, to shoot left, right, behind, anything. Pretty simple an intuitive.

I'm probably stupid, but I don't understand how the torpdedoe guidance system works, both for the periscope and sonar (otherwise it's a very good and promising sub for the future builders)

alr btw nitty i am having the exact same problems as plugga76, its actaully a funny story, when the tubes were ready the sub was in fact pointing its nose down, when i fired the torpedoes the slipped right under the ship i spawned and surfaced on the other side

@Deep Sleep, feel free to hit the follow button on my workshop page if you want to see more cool creations, upcoming vehicles, and much more.

@Plugga76, mighty odd, never seen that before. Please tell me if you find the solution.

thats alr if you can't make one nitty also, id love to see more of ur work if you dont mind telling me how to get to them

reloading wasn't my issue the sub wouldn't dive because the front was too light forcing it to point up after i shot all torpedoes and i couldn't dive to snorkel depth only crash dive or thermal layer

@Plugga76, the diving system is very complex, and has both down angle for diving AND all 4 fin depth control. I advise diving down maybe to 20m before reloading, to have a very slight down angle to assist in torpedo reloading. Usually that's not a big issue, unless you are low on electricity or are stopped.

@Deep Sleep, I rarely take requests, but I'll look into it!

i have a request after firing all torpedoes due to the way you dive to snorkel depth with all four fins pushing you down and not angling the sub down after firing all torpedoes it kept pointing up and wouldn't fully dive and i couldn't fill front trim tank at all to fix it

also nitty idk if you got my message to see if you could possibly create a b 25 mitchell twin engine bomber

nice!

*NEW UPDATE:*
Tripled the range, updated flag color, and much more! Small quality-of-life fixes that were needed.

*Das Boot from U-96 intensifies*

be sure to activate the intake key , the fuel valve, and the 2 valves that are over top of the engines
