DCB- the submerged value is in the individual submarines.cfg file.

hoarmurath- interesting discovery. I'll have to look at that for the draft and dive rate mod.

I will add though that this is not the only value affecting the way the sub floats in the water. The GC or geocentric center is adjustable and affects rolling and pitching also, as it does on a real submarine.

My one concern with changing the float value is how does it affect the ability of the submarine to drive to the surface with flooding or engine damage?

Such changes need to be tested thoroughly and under various conditions to ensure there are no "surprises"

Thank you for sharing the information, I'll be investigating this too. Great job!
