what effects will changing ship drafts have?

If a zone is set to 'activate' if underwater,

You may see oil leaking or the unit starts sinking.

It's rare this would happen if you don't go overboard on lowering a unit.

well what im doing is i found about a dozen ships in the game that are not at the waterline so i will raise or lower each about 1/2 meter to a meter to correct this.

minor change but sometimes minor changes can have big side effects so i wanted to check with experienced modders.

i dont have the experience to test or even know how to test to tell how much of a change might occur.

some merchants show zero surface draft and zero submerged draft in the zon files so im not sure why.

if they didnt have the correct numbers in the first place, was it because of "issues" or just an oversight?
