- Now only acoustic torpedoes will be available.
- Torpedo arming distance is slightly increased.
Sonar will have the following changes
- Nerfreload time7 → 12 s
- Buffping velocity500 → 600 m/s
- Initial and final width of impulse will now have the same stats as standard German submarines.
- Increased the indicated hit area of sonar pulse.
- Buffhp10,200 → 14,100
- Buffmaximum dive and ascent speed1.5 → 3.4 m/s
- submarine surveillance consumable range9 → 6 km
- Buffacoustic torpedo range8.5 → 9 km
- Buffsonar range8.5 → 9 km
- Alternative torpedo speed increased: 62 to 65kt.
- Buffalternative torpedo range6.3 → 7.5 km

- Sonar ping range reduced from 14 to 6.3 km. Now it has the same value as the range of homing torpedoes.
Armor Model
Overview
In October 1943, Walterwerke submitted a proposal to the Kriegsmarine for a submarine featuring a closed-cycle Walter system engine fueled by hydrogen peroxide. This engine was designed to operate effectively whether the submarine was on the surface or submerged. The various sections of the submarine hulls had to be manufactured in different shipyards, and sections for four submarines—designated U-4501 to U-4504—were produced before the war reached its conclusion.
