which i was toying with the thought that perhaps if the sub c-o-g was shifted slightly to the rear it might rest slightly nose down in the water when submerged--then setting the all stop speed to 0.2 knots it might- if the game works like this- slowly push the boat deeper--or it might just move thru the water at this funny angle without changing depth --depends on the dive planes really do they actually work or are they eye candy etc?
allso depends on wether i've understood the C-O-G modelling correctly--
what do you think---are those entrys just reference or can they be edited--?

It's definitely worth a try. I believe the devs originally wanted the dive planes to work, but maybe cut it short at the end to get the game out. Everything is in there dive plane -drag, effect, etc. Even the dive plane bubble in the control room.
Changing the FR center of gravity might work. Yes, I think you understand it. Two kinds of c-o-g in game, FR (front to rear), and gc_height (height above bottom of boat). Also, great idea on setting the All Stop to .2!
Try setting fr_ratio (SH3 Inspector can do it) to a smidgen under .5, maybe .45).
Good luck.
