I have 1.03 installed and I ran some test. Depth changes are very much improved.
I also ran a series of evasion course changes, seeing as how I been crying about it and you really improved that problem.
Here are my tet using my favorite platform the 688
800 feet 35 knots for all changes
45 degrees average drop 10 feet.
60 degrees 16 feet average drop.
90 degrees average drop is 23 feet.
120 degrees average drop is 30 feet. This one is interesting as it intially rises 2 degrees. Don't know why.
180 dgrees drops an average of 41 feet.

Speed drops about 3-5 knots in hard turns.

You done good guys, all we need do is remember this when we develop shallow water ops and be sure to allow for the drop. In most cases the optimum turn to get out of a torpedo's search cone is 45 degrees and we can live with the 10 foot drop.

Thanks for your work,
