During rough seas I might have to add a meter or two more depth to assure I don't accidentally breach, but I haven't really encountered any real problems with the slight positive bouyancy of the mod.

This is a classic example of the occassional futility of "realism" mods. The idea is to recreate the problems involved with u-boat attack, such as not being able to run at very slow speeds near the surface, and some creative gamers will immediately find a way to turn it back into "just a game".:rotfl:
I'd love to see how they would counter it if it just kept surfacing. |
Simple . . . I'd carefully flood the trim tanks to set trim at slight negative, and have the planes set to a slight rise, and tweak the speed back and forth between 1 -2 knots lift me up a bit when I start to slide down.
Oh, wait . . .
I don't have realistic trim tank adjustments . . .
Individual plane adjustments either . . .
Hmmmm . . .
You can only get as 'real' as the game mechanics permit. I happen to view setting my depth 1 - 2 meters deeper than my desired depth as a simulated means of adjusting my trim and bouyancy, and not as a cheat to get around the attempt of GWX to simulate the problems real U-boat commanders had.
