I remember someone talking about how US Skippers would run with there ballast tanks flooded. I found you can simulate this ingame by running at a slightly deeper debth on the surface. Right around 24 to 25 feet. However at 24 feet the bow dive planes start to raise and lower. At 25 feet there extended and at eather debth your speed is reduced to 12 kts at flank. I was wondering at what debth does the sub switch to electric? I was wondering if it was possable to change that debth so that one could run at a higher speed with the ballast tanks flooded. Or is this more accurate since the boats weight has changed?
I was also wondering if there was a way to add a command to flood the ballast tanks
