^ Yea, in Sub Command, the Seawolves(not the 688I's) could do it , and this did two things
1. you couldn't touch your flank speed without rigging them in- you'd hit 34, not 35 knots in the seawolf
#2. The "purpose" was for surfacing through ice - i think i probably surfaceed once or twice with them out with no effects
..seriously though, can the original 688's really not surface through ice because of the planes? I'd think they still could.....
Anyway, in Dangerous waters, the flank speed limiting thing doesn't happen(I believe you CAN hit the 40 knots with the planes out), and ..as for the ICE thing, ...I've had some very weird* experiences with ice that i don't think had anything to do with the planes(but i can check)
*I tried surfacing in 5-6 ft ice, and the sub kept bouncing off(when getting like 50%+ of the way through) . Pretty sure my planes were IN, not out- and there might be a point where for thick ice, you bounce off anyway sometimes(not always) when you try to surface through ice
