Unterseeboot Type VIIC
After a period of only making Japanese Sports Cars I finally made the Type 7 U-Boat after all this time, I decided to make it extra special by trying some advanced decal making! The result isn't fully perfect, but it adds a lot to the visuals! I love the Greyhound movie, even despite a historical hiccup here and there, and I'm happy to honor it with this build!
Can we get this past the old Type IX? It's high time that old build got surpassed! If not though, I'll probably make a new updated type IX (I'll make one either way anyway).

-sabaton music intensifies-
@Oniyonai This is one of the best most beautiful things in this game, it’s absolutely spectacular, I will recommend this to everyone I know with this game. Outstanding job and it is spectacular.
@MintLynx thank you I'm building a submarine and I need the engine
@Oniyonai Using VTOL nozzles and engines as aforementioned can also be used for underwater engines, in fact they're a recurring engine for use in ships. Another alternative is to raise the chordscale in prop engines, but this can make them ugly and stops working entirely at a certain depth.
@MintLynx but can we make a more simple engines for underwater ?
@Oniyonai For forward propulsion this uses an engine consisting of rotators and wings, some rotators turning the wings while others adjust the wings’ pitch. This system works flawlessly underwater.
.
Up and down propulsion (what simulates ballast control) uses a set of VTOL nozzles with an engine that remains detached from the build and floating.
What kind of engine you used?
@SteelwingAerospace Good question! The simple way of making default missiles fire from underwater is to add a thing to the “missile” part of the Overload menu. “waterproof” to the left and “true” to the right (without quotes).
.
For what I have done with my subs, it involves making what is functionally a deployable aircraft which can maneuver and is equipped with a bomb warhead or weapon. For ballistic missiles, the cannon is a good option alongside the use of a winch to keep the missile connected after launch. They’ve used things ranging from zero damage guns, rocket boosters, or even just detacher force to push them out of the water enough for the jet engines to carry them along.
Also I’m considering making my own ballistic missile submarine. How do I get missiles to fire from underwater? @MintLynx
Astute class maybe? @MintLynx
@SteelwingAerospace I have one, click the link on my profile to access my build index and you'll find it there.
It’s amazing. I have a suggestion for another sub. Could you make the Vanguard class nuclear submarine from the UK please?
It's too big for me to run it if only I had a smaller one like it
Scourge of the Atlantic. Nice job!
i love the fueselage art
This is absolutely beautiful
the wolf decal looks absolutely beautiful
Weird,this car is going underwater.
@Clutch Ocean mod made by Jester, you'll find it easy on the highest rated mods.
@Swiper At some point.
Greyhound was one hell of a movie.
The art is stunning.
