Narrow hull is giving slightly better diving times, slightly better speed surfaced/submerged...

With this modified hull, the type IX dived faster (by shortening the initial part of the dive), at least it was the intended purpose... But
are you sure that it gave a better speed to the boot ? IMO, this modified hull had a negative effect on speed, because it would disturb the hydrodynamics of the vessel... (but at slow speeds, while submerged for example, this would probably be not noticeable... even if, IIRC, removing the deck gun had a beneficial effect on the underwater speed...). But maybe you can't do otherwise to simulate a faster dive, because of game limitations (as always)...
