ADVANCED U-BOAT Type VII U-6 (Diesel/Electric)

This is an advanced version of my original U-3 U-Boat

Fully submersible and stable
One person alone can barely operate it, I'd recommend at least two.

USER'S REVIEWS:


"I crashed with the bow and slowly sinking 300 meters down right now... I had my friend in the engine room.. The component got damaged so we cant open the hatch to get him out.. OMG... The engine exploded!! He died..."

INSTRUCTIONS:

a) ENGINE START UP

1) Get in the ship and go down to the control room.
2) Head to the electric room on the aft section of the hull
3) Turn ONLY the following breakers on: PORT BATTERY, STARBOARD BATTERY, MAIN BREAKER and ENGINES.
3.a) Specifically the First, Seventh, Top and Second
3.b) They are color coded, but I'm colorblind, so please, be patient with me
4) Head to the engine room on the last aft section of the hull
5) Make sure the "Diesel Engage" and "Propellers Engage" are set to ZERO on the starboard panel
6) Sit on the chair facing the portside panel
7) Turn on the Intake Valve, Fuel Valve and Fuel Pump
8) Seth both ENG1 and ENG2 throttles to 80%
9) Turn on both ENG1 and ENG2's breakers (above the throttle)
10) Hold START ENG1 or START ENG2 until you hear it cranking alive
11) Check for RPM (normal stable around 900 RPM) (as in v0.4.21)
12) Check for both Engine's temperatures (normal around 50-100ºC)
13) Turn on both "Main Sys Breakers"

b) ELECTRIC SYSTEMS START UP

1) Head for the Electric Room
2) Turn on the remaining breakers on (Lights, Surface Control, Pumps and Instruments)
3) Check battery levels at the dials
4) Check battery load at the digital dials
4.a) Each battery stack is handled individually
4.b) This means you can opt using only port or starboard battery as you wish
4.c) You can check each battery stack's current CHARGE and LOAD at its respective dials
4.d) Positive numbers on the LOAD dial indicate your battery charge is being drained, be wary)
4.e) Negative numbers on the LOAD dial indicate your battery is being charged by the alternator)

c) TAKE OFF PROCEDURE

1) Assume the helm and make sure there is no curret trim
2) On the starboard panel of the engine room set ENGAGE DIESEL to 100%
3) On the same panel, set ENGAGE PROPELLERS as desired until you done maneuvering out of the pier
4) For ship controls, check above
5) Set ENGAGE PROPELLERS to 0%
6) Press the CRUISE button on the right side of the panel
7) Slowly increase ENGAGE PROPELLERS (Check the dial for the ship current speed)
8) On the Diesel Control Panel, reduce throttle to around 60-70% for optimal fuel efficiency cruise

b) DIVING PROCEDURE

1) Check you "Depth & Ground Dist." gauge on the left side of the main panel
1.a) White tape is your depth from 0 to 80 and the Red Tape is the ground distance from surface from 0 to 80)
1.b) If the White tape touches the Red tape, it means your are touching the ground
2) Make sure you have enough room for a dive.
3) Head back for the ENGINE ROOM
4) On the starboard panel set "ENGAGE PROPELLERS" and "ENGAGE DIESEL" to 0%

11) Turn of the fuel pump
12) Close both intake and fuel valves
13) Go to the Control Room
13.a) Make sure both conning tower's (and torpedo room's) hatches are closed shut;
14) On the starboard panel Flood Port and Starboard ballasts (saddle tanks) using the secondary panels
15) Flood the Hull ballast
16) Flood bow ballast
17) Toggle "Dive Estabilizator" ON
18) Trim nose down
19) Pay close attention to your Artifical Horizon and Depth indicators
20) Trim nose up until stabilized

c) SURFACING PROCEDURES

1) Apply Full Throttle
2) Drain 1/2 of your stern ballast
3) Drain Bow Ballast and Saddle Tanks
4) Slightly Trim Nose up
5) Watch and observe your Artificial Horizon and Depth indicators
6) Climb until your depth indicator reachs "0".
7) Drain ALL ballast tanks.
8) Toggle "Dive Estabilizator" OFF

EMERGENCIES

Being torpedoed is not something you'll have to worry about for now, but accidents happens and it wouldn't be the first time this sub got some water in the wrong side of it. Here's what to do in case you see yourself in a grim situation.

As soon as the bright orange lights starts blinking and the mildly annoying alarm starts to sound, make fast work of closing those ALL HATCHES.

There's a BLUE panel on the port side of your control room. On this panel you have control of ALL the hatches and emergency pumps of your U-BOAT. But before you start reading gauges looking where you messed up, CLOSE ALL THE HATCHES IMEDIATELY by using to button on the lower row of the panel.

Now, you are sealed inside of this old metal tube going straight to the bottom of the ocean in a alarmingly fast speed, but don't worry, isn't like you are going to cross your crush depth, I built this beauty like a marvel.

Now, there are a number of emergency pumps in each individual room up, so drag your clumsy inept sailor's bottom to panel and start pumping, but be advised, this is a small pump, it doesn't have enough PSI to pump the water outside, so it'll pump the water into your hull ballast tank. Make sure the Hull ballast is empty or it just wont do any good.

Now, you probably started to notice the alarm is getting fader and fader by the time and the lights are starting to blink and dimmer out as a small annoying light indicator started to blink by the left side of the BATTERY CHARGE dial by the helm... Well, if you didn't drain all your damn batteries out just yet, I have good news for you, there's a yellow breaker by that same light. It will connect some emergency batteries I put in there for you, but don't turn it just yet, make sure you disengage one of the battery stacks before turning it on, otherwise it'll just split its charge and you'll end up feeling awfully dumb as your pumps still don't have enough juice to pump your ballasts empty... But don't be sad, in time, all of your batteries will die and your hatches wont be enough to stop that crushing, cold black water to rush in and kill you in a violent silent death...



May Poseidon take care of both you and my baby... That u-boat took me dozens and dozens of frustrating hoursto get it where it is now. I hope it'll bring you great joy as it did for me.






That is all for now.
