If they are without ballast? Without compressed air, you mean? Because you can't get a sub lighter than having no ballast - and I've been able to surface without blowing ballast tanks and with no propulsion.
Yeah, without compressed air is what I mean. You can surface without blowing ballast and without propulsion. As I understand it, it's a very annoying flaw in the simulation.
