Why won't my sub hit the bottom in shallow water?

Is this similar to SH3 where if you sat at the bottom you continuously took hull damage?

I am a bit confused, there is a mod for this, or it's just something you can't do in SH5?

There's been a recent debate over this issue in the thread about TDW's GR2 viewer. Check it, starting with TDW's answer to my questions:

I also provided there a link to an older attempt to fix this odd behavior.

And yes, there is more than just the bone. I shortened it, and the behavior still exists. The only real step forward in fixing it was made by - who else? - TDW, and involves manipulating the damage spheres of the sub.

You tried that test thing I sent you and it worked?

Yes, I did, and I was able to replicate precisely the behavior you achieved last year, when you devised the fix. Doing a U-turn I was able to get close to the ground, the sub appeared to "sink" in it, while the echolot still reported 2 meters of water to the bottom.
As this is a hard to find (archived) thread, here it is, in case you want to refresh your memory with it:

All in all, your file is the closest workaround that was ever reached for this issue, to my knowledge. Once again, thank you for the help
