Would it ok to shorten the trail from the periscope? I think in real life it would not be so long but I do admire your progress.

This is only hook.
It is therefore managed by the generic Classes of the game...

Periscope utilyze torpedo trail. Just set exact underwater speed of submarine in FMB =8km. And You got near normal short trail.
Or use torpedo trail mod https://www.mediafire.com/?cu7kjpjoj6ztqto

Excellent job, Andrew, you got it right ...!

Some know how used in that mod for first time. Money mesh for alpha channel.

Probably not possible to not be a flat shadow but slightly lighter down the middle would add depth to the outline.

Something like that...

Good day Gentlemen. In the read me it says to check the technics for the listings. In my BAT I found those listings in the ships.ini. I have added the periscope_95 and others to the ini of sections of the submerged subs and it works for me now.

Thank you.

Hi All,
I was wondering if it is possible to copy the submarine files of the correct length and rename them as JIN subs?  Several of the subs, I-17 to I-37 are 108m and RO-33 to 56 and the 69 series are 75m are very close to the listed lenghts?
