German Cruiser Mod

Notification of a small oversight in the German Cruiser Mod.

Due to concentrating on other elements of the behaviour of these boats, i forgot to include revised values for the left and right drag, and up/down drag of these boats in the version of this mod that was released.

For those that have already installed the mod, and have skywasjers S3D, the values can be found in the .sim file for each boat ( in the "unit_ship" node under "hydro" ), and should have been set to:

LR Drag = 1.0
UD Drag = 0.6

These values are suitable for all boats in the mod. ( bear in mind that the beam width of the Hipper class is narrower than the pocket battleships, so one would expect a little more sideways roll than for the PB's.)

These values will slow down and reduce the amount of side to side "sway" and make the bow "plough" through the waves for longer in high seas, producing the "heavy feel" that some people prefer (myself included ).

Sincere apologies for the oversight. The mod has been updated with the new values in the download section.
