UBOAT Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
Crash Dive on Aircraft

Part of the UBOAT Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) collection.

This mod will make the uboat crash dive under the following conditions:
  • An enemy aircraft is spotted
  • The aircraft is not folded up (i.e. not on an aircraft carrier)
  • The boat is not docked
  • The boat is not alarmed
  • The boat is not submerged or going to submerge (e.g. periscope depth will not trigger crash dive)

NOTE: Actual dive speed depends on crew specialization, number of crew on deck when the crash dive occurs that have to get inside, number of idle crew that run to the bow, and if an officer is manning the depth controls. I may try to automate the latter eventually, but it's not simple due to alarm timing.


Does not require a new game. May disable achievements (I don't really know)

Debugging

Before reporting a bug, please make sure of the following:

  • The mod is enabled
  • You have read the conditions under which the mod will work
  • You have checked that no other mods may be interfering
  • You have checked in the file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT\output_log.txt that there is a line that reads 'UBOATSOP_AircraftCrashDive Version 2024.1.22.34'

Source Code

Source code is available on Github, here: https://github.com/Andargor/UBOATSOP

NOTE: Any mods on github that have not been released in the Steam Workshop are WORKS IN PROGRESS and may break your game. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

@Airplayn None of my mods change any equipment or their upgrades. Have you checked the dates at which upgrades become available?

I hate this! Even with a normal load of enough AA you can shoot down a lot of aircraft. Between! the AA in the 88mm gun with AA and the 20mm I shot down a Spit, two swordfish and two Sunderland IN ONE TRIP!! I even capture the Spit pilot, I have a pix of rescuing him from his sinking plane. And that's with the single 20mm What i could do with the quad AA I don't know because my upgrades won't unlock for some reason. Anyone know which mod may cause that problem?

Damnit! Why didn't I notice that? Thank you andargor :-)

@KeybdFlyer The current version is 2024.1.22.34 (see description, I update on release)

Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, your fix hasn't worked for me. I get the alarm, but the engines do not go to flank nor does a crash dive occur. Below are all the lines in output_log.txt that contain "UBOATSOP". I hope that helps you to figure-out why it isn't working for me - I haven't a clue, lol!

@KeybdFlyer Also, there are some extra debug messages ib the output log (see Debugging in the description above). Look for all the lines that include UBOATSOP_AircraftCrashDive and some of them are the condition check to initiate a dive or not.

@KeybdFlyer Can you explain? My fix didn't work for you? Can you describe the exact situation, in my testing the fix worked.
KeybdFlyer 9 Dec, 2024 @ 6:27am 
So I've resorted to "hit pause, select crash dive" mode. Really hope you find a way to get it working properly again!

That's great to hear! My patrol is currently up in the North Sea to the east of Scotland, so with any luck I'll be spotted by an aircraft if I stay surfaced. Thanks for all your work "andargor"!
