Recently downloaded the 'Lite' version. Having fun. Quick note here, based on photographs of a Gato class sub they appear to have either 4 or 5 blade outboard turning counter rotating propellers and a big ol' barn door rudder along the centerline of the ship.

In game I was shelling a frieghter close aboard and needed to back away to avoid collision in order to bring guns to bear on a second target. I put the rudder hard over to stbd and backed down but the bow moved to starboard instead of falling off to port like I was expecting.

Theoretically (in a solid medium) when moving ahead turning the rudder to starboard will push the bow to starboard. When backing and turning the rudder to starboard it should cause the bow to fall off to port, not to starboard like it did in game.

just an FYI
