That's real life. I was talking about the game

But seriously, you may want to look at the .ZON files. Fifi made a mod for LSH3 to produce negative bouyancy and adjusted to Uboats floatation. You may be able to do the same with surface ships.
I don't think any of us would want that.

Those are in the SIM for each ship and listed in the CFG for same.
Very few people actually matched the SIM settings to the CFG files.
I can give you a Tool to make that easy to do.
No, it's alright. A bulk .sim file editor would be nice though.
