Well I came across these pictures of fleet boats diving on exercises http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0818615.jpg Looks to me like fleet boats normally dive stern down first almost like modeled in the game. Maybe a sub dives faster with a lesser loss of momentum if the bow is up to provide less drag as it dives. Maybe some hydraulic experts on the forum can answer that question for us.

Progress report: I am done testing the sub draft and am working on a new addition. During testing I noticed another little problem that I needed to fix, Periscope depth. I am now setting the periscope depth to put the bottom of the final tapered section just below the water line. The light colored portion of the periscope will no longer show above water. I will be done with this in a day or two depending on the extent of the admiral's "To Do" list. This is more in line with pictures of submerged subs I have seen. Now if it would be possible for the environmental geniuses to add a wake to the periscope it would greatly improve the games look.
