"Or at least sitting properly on the bottom!" Has anyone come across floating boulders in external view?

Anyhow, getting back on track, does anyone know of ways to fix the prop rotation problem and the reduction ratio (if it does prove to be incorrect)? I heard someone mention that in 1.1 animations can't be edited in goblin, but there was hope for 1.2, any news on that?

You might pick apart this mod to see if it can help answer any questions. It's for SH4, but probably works similar in SH5.

Actually, I did pick apart that mod. Unfortunately Goblin Editor does not work the same way S3D did, and S3D is not compatible with SH5...

And after examining the props at low speed, they do appear to be spinning at whatever the tachs read: 100 rpm on the motors looks like roughly 100 rpm at the props. Granted this is guestimation from bicycling experience, but there doesn't seem to be any form of reduction.

After poring over documents at uboatarchive.net I've discovered that u-boats were not equipped with reduction gears of any kind. This is probly why ubi botched that element with fleet boats in SH4, as American subs did have reduction gears.
