Use S3D and open up the submarines .sim file

Your looking for GC_Height. Its probably set somewhere around 2.75 or 3.15 or something like that. Reduce it down to 2. umm i dunno... 2.1 .. 2.25 something like that, then try it in 15 kt winds and see if it rocks too little or too much. Its a trial and error kind of thing.

Warning: with this setting, going too high with the GC height (ex. 3.75) can cause your boat to capsize if rammed or in real rough weather. A good acid test for this is to set up a single mission with a destroyer doing 25 kts at a 300 to 500 meter distance from the player starting position in such a manner that he will ram you. This allows you to see just how far the boat will roll when properly "encourged".
