-Tests on Beta-

Large submarines such as my Seawolf and November class seem to work fine, but smaller submarines like my Gotland and the WIP U-Boat seem to have had some effects to their performance. The Gotland seems to need a buoyancy increase while the U-boat's speed needs some drag reduction. Shouldn't be hard to fix though, I might release unlisted links to fixed versions.

Having the underwater camera mod not working with the beta has given me motivation to test out how using my subs could work for people without mod access (namely people on CrApple devices). Other than the annoying camera angle issues they seem to work just fine.

-New Guided Submersible torpedo-

Using my Steerable Cruise Missile as a base I'm developing a brand new fully submersible guided torpedo, without pistons! It will have a much higher part count than the original version, but it's been coming along well and has shown to work within the Beta build!

As always, feel free to submit submarine requests. Accepted ones will have priority over builds on the list!
