On nose-diving into the water and hitting the hull of a submarine in the act of rising or plunging, the little bomb, containing about 7 lb. of amatol, was exploded by contact.”

Additional crew with preset animations; you can have them man the rail when entering port like "Aces of the Deep". U-31 type in heavy weather. U-31 sub is due to be revamped with higher detail conning tower, etc.
