I like number 2 panther, like the waves crashing over the bow especially

Ditto, Number 2.

No.2 does it for me.

Are you messing with the fr_ratio? I found out that throws off aiming through the "sccope" on the deck gun and have pulled it for now. You have to make additional mods so the gun scope will be accurate.

As for the videos, I'd like it halfway between the 2.

Once done, looks like it might fit in well with RFB (hint, hint)

Nope - I did for a while, but like you I realized that has some undesirable side effects so I've left that at the normal .5 value for these latest tests. (Leovampire had originally suggested using that factor, but as Leo pointed out to me in PM, it makes the dive planesmen keep the planes at odd levels to try to keep the sub trimmed front-to-back underwater, and if you go too far with it your boat actually stands on its head, so I decided to stay away from that parameter.)

one loked like the sub had mass, 2 looked like it was getting tossed around a bit too much

But #2 looks better.

Either lowered the sub's surface depth or changed the surface mass maybe?

I know as you do that fr is a dead issue to work with.

CG is almost totaly from side to side movement on the surface except when diving and surfacing as it will make the sub pitch up and down for that a lot.

The pitch in #2 looks great... like some of those Victory at Sea type clips. The roll in both looked a bit too fast however.
