Demolition man | I just wonder why you didn't get out the sub? Not possible b/c you die in the water?
If you can make this you could also add swimming...
|
We don't want to add swimming, maybe the ability to swim a few feet to shore, but not across large bodies of water.
|
What about Tanya?

the bubbles look kinda cool, but should they really be there?
cavitation (bubbles of water vapor forming in the water) occurs because the pressure on the back of the prop blade is so low that the water boils. but this is a really bad thing, because when the bubbles collapse, it makes lots of noise, reduces the prop's efficiency, and damages the propeller. therefore, propellers are designed to avoid cavitation.
cavitation is a particularly severe problem on naval vessels, especially submarines, because the noise from the bubbles makes the vessels show up VERY easily on sonar (which is obviously something one would want to avoid).
because props are designed to avoid cavitation (and have been since WWII), it generally only occurs when a propeller is damaged or is being used improperly (such as a propeller that is much too small for the engine).
you may want to leave the bubbles in anyway if you like the way it looks, but any submarine that actually made that many bubbles would be a sitting duck in any actual naval battle.

i'm not trying to say that you need to get rid of the bubbles. they do look kinda cool, after all. i just thought you should know that they're unrealistic, in case that mattered to you.
(personally i don't really think realism matters all that much in video games though, and i do think the bubbles make a neat effect.)

| then add you can swim for a few feet. It is stupid you can't get out. Or can you make it if you get out you spawn on top off the sub and you can jump from there on top off the shore
