Speed and diving times

Hi

I think we should slightly focus the question. It is not as to how fast a sub should dive and it is also not about whether a crew's efficiency leads to better dive times.

The primary point uncovered through Nomad_delta's excellent method of test-and-prove, is that the relationship between speed and dive times is inverse!

And it is clearly wrong, given logic and given reality, that boats dive slower when they have more speed.

So, it seems that there should be a variable in the SIM files somewhere that got reversed or maybe the code in the executable reverses the interpretation of the variable in the SIM file. Either way, it's a bug and it is the second one Nomad_delta has uncovered since 1.3 came out (the Contact/Influence switch not working being the first).

I think we need to ask for a patch 1.4.
