I've had this very question for a while....a submarine, in my mind, should get more stable the deeper it goes and the faster it goes.....on the surface...that is a totally different story...I've been at sea on a frigate to know that it does not take much to move a small vessel......

so underwater...in normal sea states (aka 1-2 meter waves)...I would think the sub would not move around that much....this is what I posted in another topic...which should be in this one:

I'm wondering about the rolling effect....I know for a fact that on the surface a boat really moves around hence a sablized UZO (I think anyways from what I remember reading) ....but once under the water I would think it would be very stable (except extremly rough seas of course)..and obviously any use of zoom would magnifly the rolling effect plus the pengilum effect of a raised periscope (think of climbing the mast of a ship in heavy seas)...still find the hardest part of the game is taking acurate distance readings under a time crunch (such as trying to get distance at an exact time for course and speed calculations)...the rolling effect while submerged is a bit of a nusence ...but if that is how it was...I'll shutup and step off the soapbox.

as of now I do most of my calcuations on the surface it being early war times...but later on, all of this will have to be done at P-scope depth due to radar.
