Akula depth problem: I have 1.04

Avatar · 02-20-07, 02:01 PM

When I order a depth change, to about 19m, the boat will rise 3m past and the sail will broach before the crew corrects to 19m. This only happens at that periscopedepth and only with the Akula. It's no big deal as I usually set depth to 22m and the go straight and level when I'm at 19m. Ive tried messing with the speed like going 3 knots or 4 or 5 and the same thing happens.
Anyway, no big deal, but I was wondering if this happens to anyone else, and what do I do to fix this. I am happy to see that the boat doesnt do that weird porpoise thing when going to PD anymore.

What's the sea state?

Not bad, I think 1 to 3, but it's hard to determine. Is there a station that will tell you the seastate? It has happened to me in the first and second campaign missions(from the original box release.) so whatever the sea state is for those scenarios.

You'd have to check it in the editor.

I've breached a few times, but only in SS 4 or 5. You've already figured out how to compensate, so you should be fine.
