The buoyancy that keeps a ship on the surface is also the reason why the waves can pitch and roll the ship.
Argueing from a surface ship point of view isnt really hitting the nail since you are not affected by the waves as much. More by current below the waves. PD means more stability than surface.

No arguement, just observation...I am not claiming to be a sailor at all and I do see the point of being submerged as helping the stability...

:cool:

Wondering still if waves and or wave heights should not be a factor?

:lurk:

Well, if the boats rolling caused by 2 feet waves is realism, then it's fine. I just hoped maybe there I could find someone to tell, is it. That's all. Somehow I feel it's wierd if my keel is laying down in 12 meters and just a half of meter waves can make my boat rolling that bad.

Sure, have to remember range to DD was about 5000 and I was using 6x magnificent. BTW, don1, your hint was wellcome. I'm not used to do that, but have to learn.

So... just the hunt for realism, nothing else in my mind.
