LR left/right drag

UD up/down drag

has anyone ever tampered with the drag coeficient ?

if so what settings should be used in respect to ship size/ weight ?

I need to make the Narwhal and my big IJN subs more sluggish underwater

Here above is the Balao Class drag factor.

I haven't experimented too much with the drag settings but from your SS I can see you are using the "1.4" format of unit_Submarine. The "1.5" format was made for the Type XVIII with the add-on and has an additional front/rear drag setting. I haven't tampered with that setting at all yet, but that may be the one your looking to change. :hmmm:

Ducimus create a Pseudo-Narwhal for TM using parts of existing subs, and tweaked all those parameters to have a more realistic response. I suppose that if you copy them it should be as good as it gets, since Ducimus is the more experienced here when it comes to such things.:up:

To get historical turning and diving rates for the Balao class in RFB I used values of 1.0 and 0.9 (surfaced & submerged, respectively) for the LR drag and 0.2 and 1.0 for the UD drag.
