I've been asked about how to get the Gato to decks awash with ISP.

I don't really use decks awash; the RL S-boats couldn't do it, and that's the only thing I've played since developing ISP.

Here is my idea as to how best to do decks awash:

In the gato.cfg file, edit the radar depth value to want you want for 'decks awash'. The game subs don't seem to like going directly from 14' to 24' or such. So, from the surface, order periscope depth, and after you are down to 40 or so feet, then order 'radar depth', and hopefully, your crew will be able to accomplish this. This may take a little experimentation.

I have done this sort of thing in order to go to a shallower than normal p/d in a S-boat.
