Okiedookie, question here for the RL bubbleheads...

So your on a 6000 ton sub at moderate depth going 30knots and your captain orders all stop. How long does it take for the sub to actually come to a stop?

Ingame there are pretty good decellerations, but I'm thinking that a RL sub isn't made of paper... those things are huge and heavy and it would probably take a while to bleed off speed in RL..

Anyone have any experience that would like to share. Also... I'm thinking that it should probably take a 6000 ton sub a couple of minutes to reach "max" speed (though in about 30 seconds it would probably have achieved 2/3 of its max).

thanks
lb
