Auto Credit Based on marcox43's U boat

I'ts been a really long time since my last submarine, so here I come with a totally functional submarine, capable of submersion up to 88m(288ft).
Recomended submersion deepness: no more than -50ft, otherwise the weapons will cease working, including the Cleavers.
Top speed on surface: 23.4 knots (27mph)
Top speed submerged: 13.9 knots (16mph)
Powerplant inline 2 diesel engine with an auxiliary Turbine for Surface operation.
Armament: 2 cleaver cruise missiles and 6 torpedoes.
Note: turns like a brick.
Controls: VTOL up to submerge and VTOL reset to rise.
Throttle: Throttle
Yaw, Pitch are the same.
Trim: rotate the cockpit to aim the missiles.
Recommended throttle for stable sailing: 75%.

    No hurry. I request propellers that work both on surface and while diving (-100 ft per Jundroo surface.) Consider: do your wing-surface prop blades work in all situations. I’ll post the boat propellers that I use, in case other SP builders can use new parts. @marcox43

    Yes, thanks if you have a subassembly for the drive, just post an unlisted link and tag me. I could test it on some future build. (My current U-Boat drives require Jundroo air, they work great unless underwater. And I place all engines (vtol) onboard as a matter of principle.@marcox43

    @Stingray have a good sailing! The VTOL was rather easy to make, but the propulsion was very difficult, as sometimes it got stuck and I had to undo until it was free again, if you want I can share you the engine with shaft. Comes with damper mounting to help with the insane torque.

    Nice creation! I like the multi part propulsion drive. The Vtol connected dive cannot be built via iOS, yet it's fun to test. Very good build!
