Flying Sub in COLD WATERS

This happened when Jive Turkey surfaced the boat to repair floodding.

Has anyone else encountered this? This is SEAWOLF in my 2004 NORTH ATLANTIC Campaign MOD. I have not been able to duplicate this.

I've skimmed the surface thus far. Seems to be caused by high speeds and rapid rate of ascent. But once airborne the only way back down is to flood ballast.

Not fully airborne though? Best I have managed is skimming with the bow high after a +30 Ascent with Ballast at +30 as well. No flying subs... Tried in both Vanilla and my MOD multiple times over the last few days. Purposefully let myself take damage to try to duplicate the damage and flooding in the video. Tried without damage as well. No joy.

I don't know if I introduced this glitch or if it's an existing issue. Either way, I can't seem to duplicate the flying sub.

I was thinking the same thing. Lol!

In this case, it's a Seawolf based in the LA model, so darn Americans...

Lol!

I've had my sub take off when I accidentally left up ballast on while travelling on the surface with time compression. Even without time compression in was floating a bit weirdly but TC made it much worse.

(I was trying to run away from an unarmed but annoying helicopter while my sub was having major flooding problems)

Was this in the vanilla game or a mod? The common thing between your experience and Jive's is the flooding...

I will try to use time compression while making the ascent and see if that triggers it. Thanks for the information.

This was vanilla... though it might have been the 1.5 Beta.

It wasn't as pronounced as that screenshot but I was definitely airborne.
