Merchant ships usually turn in a circle having a diameter of about 3–4 times the length between perpendiculars (LBP). The larger the rudder, the smaller will be the Turning circle diameter(TCD). During the TCD manoeuvre, the ship will experience transfer, advance, drift angles and angle of heel (see Figure ).

This is exactly what the ships ingame are set up to do. I ran some tests today and using the Andizhan and Boris Chilikin, and they both exhibit this kind of turning circle.
No merchants in the game are capable of turning 180' in 30 seconds.
The dive rates are realistic. It is the torpedoes that are artificially nerfed, because we wanted that cinematic aspect of Hunt for the Red October.
