Finnish U-boat CV 707 "Vesikko"

Description
NOTE!
I will NOT be updating/fixing this vehicle to work with 1.9 (or later) version!
Unless the devs fix what they have broken, this vehicle might not work as intended.
Sorry for inconvenience.


This is my recreation of the Finnish submarine Vesikko.
It isn't complete 1:1 recreation, the 3rd torpedo tube and last 3-4 meters of the pressure hull is missing on purpose.
The dive controls are simplified.



History:
CV 707 was ordered by Dutch engineering company Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw (a German front company) in 1930, and build at Crichton-Vulcan dock in Turku. According to the original contract, the Finnish navy had the right to purchase the vessel until 1937, so in 1936 the Finnish navy purchased and renamed the submarine to Vesikko.
(Vesikko is the finnish word for European mink)

On July 3 1941 Vesikko sank soviet merchant ship Vyborg east of Gotland.

In 1944 Vesikko was retired due to the armistice between Finland and the Soviet Union, which baned Finland from operating submarines. Vesikko was stored and turned into a museum ship in 1973, and is located in Suomenlinna, near Helsinki

I love this so much because its the first sub I've found that doesn't cause lag! Finally something I can use in multiplayer
