Making a battleship-sub....

[Walkiria]

I have totally implemented a battlecruiser, everything is in place and workin' properly. As I was interested in the possibility of using it as a submarine , I added the diving and surface systems. It works fine, and it keeps quite stable until it reaches 30ft deep. But, from 30ft, it sinks forward and it starts an unrecoverable fall . My other problem is that, altought it sinks smoothly and it reaches the bottom at 0 speed, it starts suffering quite severe damages in its central structure after a while resting.
My two main questions are:
1-How could I level the fall under 30ft (which parameters should I adjust)?
2-When I use the same parameters in a submarine, it works perfectly. What should I change in the battlecruiser files in order to achieve the same behavior?

Thank you everybody!

Not Surkouf. See in form turret and hull form. Surkouf have other hull form and form turret.

I think it's another one too...

Prow shape and cannons' turret looks really different each other.

You made a point here

Lorelei



Surcouf (left) unknown (right)



my BAD. I agree it's close but not quite.

In the movie Lorelei, the germans capture the french Surcouf submarine and set it up with a midget sub, a Biber, in the rear hangar that housed the submarine's recon plane.

The inside is also fitted, in the movie, with german gears and gauges.

In RL the USAF sank the Surcouf when a B24 LIberator mistook it for a german sub in Florida in 1942 : the records of the 6th Heavy Bomber Group operating out of Panama show them sinking a large submarine the morning of 19 February.



Other nations tried out the cruiser-submarine type, like Britain's X1 seen here above.

On the other fictionous hand, Lorelei is a good movie, I enjoyed it.
