Dive time in v1.3 screwy?

Either way, it seems to me that the current situation of being able to change depths at the same rate at any speed is clearly unrealistic/flawed.

Well... I guess the only way to know would be to input the higher flooding rates and then go do a little testing.

Is it unreasonable to think that if you were to make the ballast tanks flood faster that it also might have the effect of making them blow faster, as well?

I do know that with the higher flood rates in place,you go down much faster from the surface. As far as the effect on sub-surface depth changes and the time it would take..I'm not sure.

Again...it would need to be tested.

Would be interesting to see if it does.
