I've asked about this too. Ducimus set the radar/snorkel depth to 700 ft to solve this problem in TMO. However he also had to do some tweaking to the sub files since the dive planes start acting funny below 500 ft. I'm sure the RFB team has taken this into consideration and is working on it. I think they just need to ask Ducimus nicely if they can use his innovations in RFB and we will have the best of both worlds.

Things from TMO that I would like to see in RFB:
1) Diving below 450 ft, especially with the Tench Class
2) Fix the way the camera tilt is represented in the conning tower. In RFB and stock it is reverse of what it should be. Ducimus fixed this in TMO.
3) Add those nifty and historically correct alarm switches in the conning tower. Ducimus added clickable red, yellow and green switches on the wall for sounding GQ, rig for dive and crash dive.
4) Import all the Tench features from TMO to RFB. Ducimus had a working radar range finder on the periscope head and added an unfortuneately unworkable FM sonar mast (but still cool eye candy) to the deck of the Tench.
5) Not a Ducimus innovation but still cool. Add that mod from Nisgeis that adds a range readout to the radar set. Fortunately the RFB team says they are working on this one.

Thats my Christmas wish. I've been good all year, RFB Santa!
