Is there a way to stop floating docks sinking in rough weather?

Increase the submerged draught to 30 and do some tests...

If you get the opposite effect, then try 5...

I'm pretty tired right now, so I may have spoken bullsh!t...

Set it to match the cfg file.
This is the sinking ship bug you hear about.
The sim not being fixed correctly.

Settings for Dock 1:

[Unit]
ClassName=BuV_Dock1
UnitType=12
MaxSpeed=0
Length=130
Width=40
Mast=25
Draft=5
Displacement=26000; in T
RenownAwarded=25

Settings for Dock 2:

[Unit]
ClassName=BuV_Dock2
UnitType=12
MaxSpeed=0
Length=130
Width=40
Mast=17
Draft=13
Displacement=33200; in T
RenownAwarded=30

Could you tell me what value to set where please?

Changing submerged draught to 30 does nothing, this is what it looks like leaving Kiel:

Thanks BBW, only I doubt that this has fixed it, looks the same, the wind speed is 6 meters/s, the pitch & roll of the dock is way too much IMO.
On a rise:

On a dip:

Only I wouldn't be able to see the actual results till I return on the next patrol.

Ah right
Not sure what value controls the pitch and roll but yes let me know what looks like when you dock
Off on a patrol now too so will see

Is there one in Wilhelmshaven :hmm:
Ah yes
