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...

Sounds like you got it. The same affect was seen in SH3 GWX...fuel consumption went up and crew wore out faster.

Now, need to package that for easy installation Excellent work!
