All the following values are based on the Salmon.

ManBT_flood_speed = Main Ballast = the value of Submerged displacement – Surfaced displacement. This is the value associated with the submarine submerging. The entire deck comes awash i.e. about 7metres at around 75% of total volume.

ManBT_flood_speed of 20000 takes ~ 75 seconds per 500 units on a normal dive order.
ManBT_flood_speed of 20000 takes ~ 45 seconds per 500 units on a crash dive order.


DiveBT_flood_speed = Dive Ballast = 10% of the value of Submerged displacement – Surfaced displacement. This is the value most associated with the submarine changing depth.
DiveBT_flood_speed of 8000 takes ~ 43 seconds per 100 units on a normal dive order.

When the submarine under normal conditions is hovering at depth the Dive Ballast equals 50% of the total and the Main Ballast is 100%.

When ordering the submarine under normal conditions (and default values) to ascend from 95 metres to 17 metres on the initial order the Dive Ballast is set to be 25% of the total and the Main Ballast is 75% and as the ascent gets closer to the ordered depth the values change to the Dive Ballast equals 50% of the total and the Main Ballast is 100%.

When ordering the submarine under normal conditions (and default values) to decent from 17 metres to 95 metres on the initial order the Dive Ballast is set to be 100% of the total and the Main Ballast stays at 100% and as the decent gets closer to the ordered depth the values change to the Dive Ballast equals 50% of the total and the Main Ballast stays at 100%.

The submarine under normal conditions and at all stop with default values the decent speed is 31 metres per minute and the ascent speed is 37metres per minute.
