Guys, focus.

I'm not making assumptions about which sub should dive faster than the other, how that was done in a purely technical sense, or if divingspeed is altogether correct.

I am merely stating that in the current state in v1.3 (haven't tested this in earlier versions), divetime is much shorter when speed is 0 compared to when the sub is at speed. In my opinion, shouldn't this be the other way around?

Since a moving sub has added advantage of water flowing over the diveplanes as the sub is moving in the horizontal plane. A non-moving sub should therefor change depth much slower than a moving sub.

In SH3 (+GWX ofcourse), this is the case. In SH4, it seems reversed.
