Vortex is my first submarine
This submarine uses a set of fans to move and dive, which requires no fuel or air. It can dive to -13m. I don't want it to dive too low because the weapons may disappear when it dive to a low level.The diving algorithm is similar to VTOL system, so if you don't mind the disappearance of weapons, you can change the code and dive to as deep as you want.
I know it looks very simple, but it's actually mobile-friendly!
The count of the parts is less than 800, mobile device can run it fluently.
How to control:
The control system is also very simple, just like this:
Throttle: to move forward.
Brake: to move backward.
Yaw: turning.
VTOL: control diving.
It is interesting that if you move the VTOL bar to greater than 0, the submarine can get to the surface more quickly than just moving it to the zero point.
That's all. Thanks for upvoting.

@BMilan Many thanks, I may try that server.
@ZooxTark Heya! I see you are into shipbuilding (and pretty good at it), so I figured I'd let you know, that there is a discord server, Port SP, that is specifically aiming to bring SP ship builders together where we share knowledge, show off our work in progress builds and so on.
So in case you are interested, I'm gonna leave an invite link here:

Very nice submarine btw :)
