The mod set, in question is...
We dive at Dawn.
I did some tweaking to the T class sub, in getting it to look right, thanks to some work that JapLance did & the tweaking I did, also includes the dazzle mod (authors name for this mod, escaped Me right off...  ) for the T class, as well.
After some time spent on this... have the T class looking as it should & includes having the appearance of the sub & the gun/crew slots being there, as well.
Any info on this... would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there M.M.

,
Since you told me about that in your last PM I took a look. In the .sim file there's a controller called
unit_submarine which has fields for ranges. I understand that changing the range for submerged range will do it.
Currently the submerged range is entered as 96 miles (nautical miles I guess) at 2 knots. Wikipedia lists an underwater range of 48 hours at 2.5 knots for the T-class boats,
which equals to 120 nautical miles at 2.5 knots.
Wiki also states that at the maximum underwater speed of 9 knots batteries would last just 1 hour. You could test those values and see if this max speed endurance is also close.
Hope this helps
