Hello, just for feedback,
first thanks for the answers! I just tried out the type IIA concerning diving etc.. I have now enabled the reduced positive buoyancy mod.

Boat at full stop, submerged or surfaced:
I can choose any depth via clicking on the depth gauge, and the boat reacts, however i mostly have to click appx. 1 meter below the depth i really want to have. Periscope depth also works, boat moves to 11 meters and hovers there. Same on the ocean floor with 0 meters below keel. I did not observe any depth changes after reaching a certain depth and full stop, not at several hours using time compression, nor waiting for half an hour at 1x, regardless which depth.

Boat running at slow speed submerged:
This is strange, while the boat reacted to my orders at full stop, it did not when running at slowest speed (button 1 or slow ahead) - it does not react to depth changes when running at slow speeds. As soon as i use ahead half or button 2 it reacts to the ordered depth change alright. Same after coming to full stop.

In reality the boat will be even easier to trim for a certain depth dynamically (even at only 2 knots), with the help of the dive planes, and not statically alone with emptying or flooding the trim tanks.

Hmm, would it be possible to make the boat react to depth change orders at slow speed ? :hmm:. Sorry if this has been discussed before, and is not changeable.

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
