That is called z-fighting.

Happens when you're too far away from the submarine.

Absolutely! I get this with stock, but not all the time. I think it has to do with when the camera goes from exterior to interior mode - perhaps the depth resolution gets confused between the two?

It's introduced / made more apparent with the free camera tweak. Don't install that one and you should be fine. Although I think I've read someone mention that they had the same kind of problems with default much less and only at certain angles.

I still use the mod personally, I'm sure CCIP will tweak it a little bit more soon.

Yeah, sorry guys, it's an issue with the mod's reduced clipping distance from the sub. At the moment it's a bit of a tradeoff between how close you can get the camera to the sub, versus the occurence of these glitches. At narrow FOV these are less obvious, at regular FOV though it still needs a bit of tweaking.

Kinda busy with work at the moment so I can't tweak it out just yet. Next weekend I'll give it a closer look

If you ask me, it's not a terrible tradeoff at the moment though...
