Default How do you set the diving speed ?

Does anyone know how the diving speed is set ?


Do you know how to set up the diving speed to a set depth : f.i. I-Boats took a minute, Typ VII 35 seconds to go to periscope depth.

I need to change that to slow the I-boats a bit and the SS Narwhal too.

thanks

Hi There,
If you use SH3 mini tweak choose the Uboat you wish to change and open _sim file, on the general menu click flooding, you get a file called ManBTfloodspeed. Changing the setting will change the diving time.
Good Luck,
RR

Not trying to nit-pick (but doing it anyway): Did the Type VII take 35 seconds to get to periscope depth, or was that the time to get submerged? I know the two are very close, but there is arguably a difference. Also, was that in a standard or an emergency dive?

Keltos, I know your real concern is to set the proper dive times for the Japanese subs, so I'm not trying to argue, just ask the questions.
