I have not seen any ill effects yet, will keep testing!

Cool, what file name, field and value was changed
Inspired by Capt. BC's post above, I tried experimenting with this along with my test install of kv29's (destabilized) Real Deck Gun mod - for the S-18 I'm testing with, I changed the following:

S-18 Class (Data\Submarine\NSS_s18\NSS_s18.sim):
gc_height = 3.05 ; was 3





I also played around a bit with increasing the "draughtSurfaced" setting, but I eventually set it back to stock value as my changes made the boat wallow too much and too deep for my taste (my changes may have just been too major - probably should only change it by .1 or .2 at a time and see what happens) . I originally set the gc_height from 3 to 3.5, and my S-18 rolled over and capsized , so you gotta be a little careful with these settings

With just the tiny tweak noted above, I was getting some pretty decent looking/feeling rolling motion from bridge view and good deck gun movement, so this is definitely worth playing around with.
How do i change the .sim values .
