Most likely been said somewhere, someplace but what the .........

I've always found it a bit annoying how all the ships seem to be a bit "stiff" ie: rolling and coming very quickly upright like toys on a pond. I therefore increased the gc_height in NS_Uboat7c_sim (for example) using Mini Tweaker to 3.1 and now the sub rolls long and slow, especially when beam on to a swell.

(that's a smiley being seasick by the way). I guessed that gc_height means center of gravity height, and raised it to make the ship more "tender".

Have also increased other ships by a factor of around 1.3 (ie 1.3 x original gc_height) and the ship rolls look much more realistic. Don't increase too much otherwise the ships will capsize
