In fact, as I said in my request thread, the problem is not that it takes long, I would indeed understand a long dive time for those huge subs.
No, the thing is that their behavior seems to be erratic. First dive takes 6min30sec, second dive 40 sec, as do 3rd and 4rth dive, then suddenly, fifth dive takes 6min30sec again...
Yet, the way I see it, that kind of subs are meant to stay submerged, so this not such a big issue. And they rock anyway !
