When I went to make a turn the boat flipped over in the water and sank sideways down to past 200m of depth before managing to right itself back up again. Alas, it was too late, and the pressure hull collapsed despite my attempts to blow the ballast tanks. 
Since then I've toned it back down to about 75kts, which is safe so long as I'm not submerged when I turn. When submerged, anything past 25kts will cause the sub to dive down when it tries to turn - normally not a big deal but in shallow waters this can turn into a sudden crash. |
That's hilarious ! You should combine that tweak with the torpedo tweak thread on page 1 and you can fire photon torpedos if you ever arrive safely on station. Silly and not realistic, but what the heck. Giggling is good for the ol' blood pressure.
