(WIP)Submarine Draft Fix

[NEON DEON]

It would appear that lowering the boat a meter in the water has no effect on fuel consumption.

I lowered the the Sargo almost a meter and she went 5,000 KM at manual setting for 10 knots. Fuel left was 82/100.

I then ran stock with the same settings and got the exact same results.

However, it does appear that when setting your ship speed you get this:

Make revolutions for 10 knots.

As opposed to actually going 10 knots.

So when making revolutions for ten knots you get the same fuel consuption but maybe not the same actual speed thus the drag aspect.

Timing the two would require a mod of the environmental variables to see what effect lowering the boat would do to the time of arrival when making revolutions at 10 knots.

it wouldnt hurt to compare each speed setting when surfaced and submerged to see if anything changed there, you might find a half knot difference somewhere.

one thing i learned about this game is minor changes to some things have a way of causing issues you never expected so always test all the possabilities.
