speaking of the Med, I have a question about the campaign files. How come there are so many Hippers and Bismarcks in the Med in 1940? Since the player isn't supposed to be in the Med during that time, I'm guessing it serves some sort of under-the-hood purpose, so to speak?
Specifically, for those curious: search for "Naples Convoy 1141" and "AJ17" in the scripted layer.

PS, I have spent the last several days fiddling with the Type XXI in this mod. I have fixed the incorrect battery charge indicator and speedometer readouts, corrected the propulsion and range parameters to resemble real-life values (370nm underwater endurance, ~4.5hr to recharge from 60% battery), and applied some changes to improve the boat's stability as per Evan82's recommendations. Slow surfacing is still a problem, though it's easy to mitigate by ordering "surface," ordering "blow ballast" once the boat has reached about 9m, then ordering "depth 0 meters" as soon as the crew appear on deck so you don't burn all your compressed air. Sadly I was wholly unable to do anything about "radar destroyed!" despite several hours of attempts to make sense of it. If anyone is interested I'm happy to share the relevant files which should make the XXI at least playable.
