S-Class Boats airborne in rough seas

Check this out:

Subs should never get this far out of the water. At one point, just before I paused it to take the photo this sub was entirely airborne. This never happened in SH3. I don't know why it's happening in SH4. It seems like the devs didn't give the subs any real weight - they don't crash into wave troughs anymore.

Yes, I noticed this in rough seas. Dynamics need some work. As talented as you are at modding, can you do something with it?

Actually I'm probably better at putting together a bunch of mods than I am at the nitty-gritty of modding. If it's an image that needs tweaking or plain English data, that's easy, but when it gets into hex editing, alpha channels or weird physics models I'm lost. I think this one falls into the weird physics models area.

I noticed similar things with a type II in SH3 but an S-Class is a little bit heavier.

The S-Class in SH4 is too unstable - it feels like I'm commanding a *row boat*. Way too much rolling and pitching even in calm winds. It needs some tuning!

In stormy conditions you need the main pump to get the barf out of the boat

Not a row boat but a canoe

Too unstable? If anything I'm having the opposite problem with it - it's as solid as a rock. It never moves more than two or three degrees to port or starboard or towards the bow or stern. I wish it was a bit more unstable.

I don't understand why people are having such different experiences with it.

Looks like a dolphin class..:hmm:

devs probably put a very low value for the sub weight.
But another problem is the underwater rail, the boat seems to be running with weels in shallow waters.
