Is adjusting trim angle available?

Frame57 · 06-21-08, 12:12 PM

I play both SC and DW both with mods. I was playing a mission and I decided (foolishly) to sneak up on a surface ship and TASM the guy to smitherines. Before i could a helo nailed me. I went to a flank bell and clicked on "Go deep". The best down angle i could achieve was 5 degrees down. Why would we not be able to click on the dive planes and adjust them to acheive an appropriate down angle like we can do with rudder? that would be more realism. I recall from the "Usta-fish" days that we pulled 20 degree angles often during angles and dangles. If you need to go deep fast you have to be able to adjust the angle of the boat.

I don't believe it's possible to decide the bubble angle when you're heading down or up.

Unfortunately, dive angle is not controllable by us. Our crew handles it completely out of our control.

Trust Bernard ! He'll angle that sub perfectly for you every time !

Thanks for responses. I read all the "read me" for the mods and did not see anything regarding it either. But for some reason I still want to "click" on the stern and fairwater planes. I just wanna do it!!!

Man, oh man, does that bring back memories. The cooks used to HATE angles and Dangles. No matter how prepared they were, stuff always found a way to go flying. Once some nitwit thought it would be fun to slide all the way down the Ops. middle level deck. this is the longest stretch on the 637 class boats. It runs all the way from the bow compartment to the trash disposal unit. A good 60 foot run or so. So we are pulling an up angle of more than 20 degress and away he goes. He slid so fast and hard that he left a couple of teeth on the TDU. I think he lost a stripe as well after the CO got done with him.
