Gato Roll

Seems the gato rolls to much. Maybe this is the real roll effects and rate, but I think the roll rate is over done for the gato in silent hunter4.

After testing for hours, I find that changing of the center of gravity from 2.82 to 2.52 makes the rolls seems natural. You can make the sub almost have no roll by moving the number to like 0.12.

I tried changing the global wave attenuation, but then certain visual effects no longer looked right. Such as other ships wave crashing and rolls seemed to weak after modifying wave attenuation. In addition, lessening the wave attenuation made the pitching of boats (at least gato) to be too small. Best to change the center of gravity on each boat, then attempting a wave behavior modification.
