Do American Submarines ever submerge

[FAdmiral]

This thread reminds me of something I used to do in SH3. I ran the boat
down slightly (like semi-decks awash) so I could get under faster. I have
not tried it yet in SH4 but I know that you can drop the US boat slightly
deeper (feet) in the water. Whether it will make a difference remains to be
tested....

You can run the sub down to 39 feet before you have to leave the bridge. The crew will leave the bridge at 25 feet. Running this way at night during an attack is fun. Anyway, the crew leaves the bridge at 25 feet so you can run awash up to this point with crew, after that it just you standing there. Obviously your sub will submerge faster if you are running awash as you all know. I also notice once the dive planes are at 31 feet the sub really starts its fast decent.
