Actually, it will not be too simple, even using the same 3D model. Because the existing GR2s have references to the specific .sim(and other controller files) for that boat. In other words, you will have to hex edit those references to new files in order to change the stats for the new boat independently of the original sub used.

Or at least I am pretty sure it will work like that.

Well, I never "cloned" a submarine before, but, as far as I can tell, it shuldn't be very difficult... Just cloning ALL files and tweak the new "copies" with the correct values (mass, speed etc) so they reflect the correct VIIC 42 performance. I guess this trick has been done already in sh4 a couple of times at least.
