its tricky but i dont think changing the balance point is the answer because you change all the floating charactoristics and the subs reaction to sea state with it.

the minute you add any extra weight somewhere such as a flooding situation you get the sub acting like it has half the boat flooded.

i think this will have to be solved another way by tweaking the floatation spheres or whatever it is they use in the damage models to add or remove floatation levels and not by changing the float center which acts like you would be adding a ton of weight to one end of the boat. sadly i dont know how to do things like that.
