Just to beggin I wanted to make a Schnorkel U-boat unit.
That is for my WW2 scenario.
The reson for this unit is that germans where trying to built such a sub since the 1942. It was supposed to help them to win the battle of Atlantic, maybe the most important battle of all since from it were depending the battles of Russia, North Africa, England, even the invasion of Europe, in June 1944.
Donitz, the Commander of the Reich's Kriegsmarine (Did I write it right?) wanted or many u-boats, over 300, or the Schnorkel u-boats, in order to win the battle of Atlantic.
Fortunately, for us ( Immagine Apolyton In Deutch, Altavisten, Der Yahoo, Porn films in German!) he didn't have this number of subs till 1943, and by that time the allies had the technology to win anyway. The Schnorkel was a system that gave air to the diesel engine of the sub, so it didn't had to use the batteries underwater. That was a great advantage since the batteries didn't last long, and couldn't give much power, so the u-boats had to be slow and get on the surface often. Many u-boats were destroyed will they were recharging the batteries.
The schnorkel device was ready by the summer of '44, but just about there the german army lost the ports in France and the new u-boats were not more useful.
What do you think of the Schnorkel U-boat I want to build?
