Periscope depth

I have notedness's time and time again the U-Boat is not going down deep enough, the brim of the turm is showing above the water line and using the dial to get your boat down a little deeper is a pain. Is there some way to change the depth just enough to correct this problem.

Just to add the DF_Antennas also can be seen. Is there any way you can raise and lower it along with any other antennas, I know about the late war one which you can do this.

I think it has something to do with positive buoyancy, though im sure..i noticed this behaviour too. GWX comes with an alternative buoyancy model so id install that first of all.

Cheers!

Yes, GreyOctober is correct.

GWX update 1.03 comes with a " reduced positive buoyancy" option which should get rid of most of these unpleasant effects.

I Believe that neutral buoancy for GWX will fix this
as far as broaching goes.

as for the df antenna it is only eye candy
and although I believe theres no lowering
it as such in game it can be deleted
out of game without detriment It was
somewhere in the last two weeks I
saw the DF loop stuff on a mods
forum thread but I dont have the link
here steed.

Just out of interest if I sorted them all out would the change conflict with the next patch?

As I remember I had a conflict with the 1.02 patch when I added another torp slot for the IXB Boat.
