Hello All!

I tried editing the files as Pete379 suggests, I am currently on a mission in a Porpoise class.

I set the mass at 1100, and the other settings per Pete379's recommendation. I have found that the boat has a nice roll to it, however, I discovered a couple other things in the process.

Making the boat roll and pitch will cause you to excersize better seamanship! In order to maintain way without wasting fuel, you will find it better to cross the waves at an angle. Ramming waves head on will cost you in fuel use, and your crew will not sleep as well, and thier performance will be affected!

Once I made this discovery, by heading at a shallow angle while surfaced, my crew was better rested, and I used less fuel. I used my submerged leg to head back toward my base course.

Try the changes and see what you think. Milage may vary...
