Description:

DISCLAIMER: If you want to use the weaponry for any length of time, you’ll need to turn "infinite ammo" on in the scenario menu. None of the ammo rails are airtight, so refilling ammunition from inside the sub is impossible. If you do not plan on turning on infinite ammo, all 3 "coilguns" have 20 rounds in the drum, and the "railgun" has 6 shells in the rack.

This is a revamped version of my previous 1:1 replica of Barotrauma’s Humpback attack submarine. Most of the internal logic was stripped and replaced with more streamlined microcontrollers to make running in-game smoother. The steam turbines have been properly tuned and fully submerged the sub can move at a respectable 40 knots.

OPERATION:
Simply spawn the craft, navigate to the helm and flip the switches labeled "Fill/Drain Ballasts" and "Depth Control". Wait for the ballasts to fill and the reactor to spool up at least 50%, then you’re all set!
It’s recommended to only perform depth changes at 1/2 speed, especially when submerging.
Set the target depth to at least 5 meters to get full turning capabilities, and 10 meters to travel at full speed.
The sub does need to continue moving to maintain depth, about 5 knots seems to be enough.

Credit to Amiga87, Zizo, and Jodian for their microcontrollers, and Illy for a modified version of their steam turbine system.
