There is really good book covering an S class sub operating in the med during the war; Crash Dive, In action with HMS Safari.

I'd really recommend it was written by leading telegraphist, Arthur Dickison whom kept a diary of time onboard the submarine from leaving Scotland, patrolling in the med etc. wonderful insight into life onboard and offboard a submarine during WWII

Some info about the submarine can be gained here too:

Looking forward to this.
Thanks.

Does anyone know where to find patch 2?

keltos01 · 07-09-10, 08:00 AM

Campaign to save WWII submarine HMS Alliance

An appeal to fund urgent restoration work on Britain's last WWII submarine on public display has raised £4.6m but still needs a further £1.5m.
HMS Alliance, which is moored in Gosport, Hampshire, is corroding so badly that parts of the memorial are falling into the sea.
The money is needed to return it to how it looked when it launched in 1945.
The vessel was in service for more than 25 years and has been on display at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum since 1982.

Any news on when the U-class will be usable?

Thanks Lurker and keltos for WDAD and this Class T boat, the work you have been doing is great. I have been doing a bit of reworking and tweaking myself, it's a personal thing as I try to trim my boat.

I'm having to learn this dds format and am nowhere near the master level yet as I discover as I go. Here is my slightly improve paint job with the more detailed vents (more to come)

But how do I find the conning to rework, I thought I did it on the dds file NNS triton TO1.dds, I'm looking for a blue conning tower. sorry if this in in the wrong forum,

I also noticed that on the T-class submarine they called it a Search Periscope instead of an observation periscope like we do. Look at this diagram I found.

The diagram on the T boat calls it a Search Periscope instead of an Observation Periscope. Don't know why.

Total noob on British subs. Did some reading but nothing too in depth yet, any thoughts on why British sub losses were so high in the ETO? Was German/Italian ASW that good or ?

sergei · 07-18-10, 10:08 AM

The Italian ASW wasn't up to much initially.
Their DDs had only passive gear to hunt subs with, and were in the habit of dropping depth charges periodically around convoys to 'warn off submarines'
Obviously this had the exact opposite effect. The exploding charges could be heard for miles, and alerted Brit sub commanders to the presence of a convoy.

Once the Germans started to get involved it got a lot more dangerous.
I'm sure they trained the Italian DD crews and gave then sonar technology.
I'm not sure how directly the Kriegsmarine got involved (haven't read a lot about it, just 2 books).

Shallow water operations in much of the Med has to have played a part in the high loss rate.
Often they could not dive deep enough to be totally invisible from the air (the Med has pretty clear water), or get under a sonar beam.

sergei · 07-18-10, 12:03 PM

I've only just gotten round to trying this out Lurker.
Very nice work

Really looking forward to the next instalment.

sergei · 07-19-10, 07:25 AM

Quick question.
I can see a Type 267 Air Guard radar on my boat.
I'm assuming this is an air search radar.
It doesn't appear to be functioning

I don't get any aircraft radar contacts. The first I know of an aircraft is when my watch crew spot it.

Bubblehead1980 · 07-19-10, 01:01 PM

Thanks for the answers. The Brit subs were much different than US for sure, smaller etc.T class were fleet boat like though.Plan to load up WDAD after next patrol is over.Although I prefer the PTO for Brit subs I cant wait for the med and North Sea campaign and a British voice patch(if its needed, havent played yet so dont know, Brit voices currently?) Anyway, sure ill enjoy it.
