How to run with decks awash?

[TreverSlyFox]

You first need to go in to your SHIII folder to the Data/Submarine folder. There you will find folders for each sub type, in each folder there is a .cfg file you can open with Notepad and edit the SURFACE DEPTH= (I think the VIIB is like 7.8).

Change the depth to 8 or 8.5 so it reads like this:

SURFACE DEPTH=8.5 Then hit save.

Now you can run decks awash at about 7 to 7.5 meters. The crew stays on watch and you still run on Diesels. Though in heavy seas the diesels will cut out when she dives into a big wave, and it also looks kind of funny when your watch crew is underwater and still scanning the area. Running decks awash also cuts down on your dive time a lot, I've run decks awash and from the order to dive to reaching parascope depth has been 18-20 seconds instead of the normal 37 seconds in a IXC.
