Worried about u-boat physics.

Someone tell me the phyisics in this video are not gonna be final for the release? It looks unrealistic & its an immersion breaker. The physics make it look like a Tiny toy submarine.

This seems to be just a weaker video. There were other, better videos recorded by QA team.. I'm wondering why this one was the choice

Anyway, it's not how it looks in game. This video was probably slightly time compressed aside from obviously wrong choice of angle that intensifies bobbing.

Edit: There is now a second video on Facebook.

Great quick reply man! Game is looking to shape up real well.

The play test releasing now will only be available for backers, right? Or is there a way for me to play before steam early access release?

Thanks! That's correct, this version is going to be backer-only.

We will be releasing UBOAT in Early Access on Steam a few months after that.

Thanks for the quick reply & i read that you Guys are doing lots of overtime and work like a horse now with the beta test and all. Im closely following all the feedback & info and it seems it shaping up to be a true masterpeace. Keep up the good work.

Regarding the second video? Was this also a video which had the time compression bobbing? I dont want to be a Nick-picker or anything? But it still showed the weird bobbing effect (like a model boat) i did like the excellent water effect comming from the drainage holes. Looks supurb!

As someone who has been playing it i'll chime in.

It feels like the ship has absolutely no weight to itself and the water feels like there is no friction. It is a very odd feeling to watch the ship.

I hope it improves. This is after all their very first playable beta.

to be fair when youre going in straight line it seems pretty much fine, where it looks and feels very odd is upon turning.
Diving and surfacing seems little bit off, but not too bad, I agree it would be nice if the players boat and (other vessels) felt a more 'weighty'.
But its still early days yet.

Well im not a beta tester. But i have a feeling Nilcat Will pick up on it. Or a betatester Will
Make it a request in the bug report forums or something sooner or later. And maybe its something modders can fix... and its indeed still in early beta anyway.
