That dolphin video had me in stitches! :rotfl: I also really liked the part where it was doing barrel rolls underwater, very cool crash dive!

I wonder, with all the air time the sub can get, can you fire torpedoes while the tubes are out of water? Because it would be an absolute RIOT to leap out of the water, launch a spread of torps, and have them hit a ship ABOVE the waterline.

Some other stuff I'm wondering is tweakable with the cfg files-

-Number of tubes on the sub? Would be fun to fire a salvo of 20 torpedoes, 15 degree spread at a convoy, and see 'Torpedo Impact!' spam.

-Crank up the speed of the torpedo guns (to flak gun bullet speed), lower the reload down to a fraction of a second, nerf the damage big time, and increase the ammo by like x20. You now have torpedo machine guns, and strafe enemy ships. You fire rapidly, but it takes a large amount of shots to down even small ships. Best of all, you could use the T1 torps' bubble trail to shoo away destroyers (since ships seem to panic when they find torpedoes)
