Default Crash-dive Blues NOT fixed

I have found in further testing that the value of esi, used to point to the crash-dive flag and the q-d-tank, varies repeatedly in the vicinity of a convoy, and ultimately causes a serious computer crash (values written to wrong memory).

Back to the drawing-board.

One thing I ask myself: With your fix the q-d-tank is 0,5 instead of (as you wrote) 0.0 when surfaced. Doesn't this change the boats physics when surfaced, since the boats mass is higher??
I considered that, too. But the U-boat seems to ride perfectly well in the water on the surface.

I also considered if a residual value of 0.500 in the q-d-tank might affect depth-keeping after an interrupted crash-dive at periscope depth, or if it would affect rate of rising from deep waters. Or maybe the crash-dive rate might be affected.

None of these parameters seem to be affected enough to notice.
