Panther, I can't help you with the tweeks, but from experience, the first command from the officer of the deck would be...usually... conn..bridge...prepare to dive...then...Lookouts clear the bridge...Dive Dive, the lookouts would then ladder down to take over the dive and stern planes. The first officer off the bridge would hold the conn hatch rope while the OD locked it down. Everone had cleared the bridge very fast. The stock version of SH4 clears the bridge way too late. The OD, when in the conn, would then give the control room the depth he wanted. This would vary depending on the reason for the dive. But, this was peacetime.
Also I've been trying to get the subs to sit deeper in the water. I don't know if its the waves or the surface depth of the boats, but they seem to sit too high. We didn't cavatite that much. The stern seems a bit higher than the bow to me. We didn't roll as much as one might think. The pitch was the greatest in ruff weather.
