You guys may have already read this, but from my reading around the internet there is really not a lot of difference between a XXVII and an XXI. Basically the XVIII had a large storage area for the H2O2 , but in the XXI this area was changed into storage room for the batteries, which gave the XXI its remarkable range underwater.

For the XXI:
Quote:
3-times the electrical power of the VIIC gave the boat enormous underwater range compared to the older types and this boat could submerge far beyond the Bay of Biscay from the French bases so the Valley of Death was a thing of the past for them really. It took the boat 3-5 hours to re-charge the batteries with the Schnorchel once every 2-3 days if travelling at moderate 4-8 knots
I hope you guys can fix the issue people seem to have with the hydrophones or whatever , even if it still builds up CO2 , it builds up slow enough its not a big deal, in my opinion. It would be nice to have the option of adding a snorkel to the XVIII with no further enhancements (in the upgrade screen?), and have the XXI as a separate upgrade?

And may be pushing my luck a bit too far here... but is it possible to have the radar or radar warning receiver (Naxos I think) on the snorkel also?

geez... I need to take modding lessons...
