The Model 5.30 (also known as Sumbilang in Laurentian service) is a class of midget submarines. Armed with two 19 inch torpedoes and a top speed of 11 knots, they are used to patrol shallow waters and coastlines. If their torpedoes fail, they can simply chomp off the enemy vessel's propulsion and steering system, granted, if they can catch up to them.

CONTROLS:

VTOL - Move Forwards and Backwards
Yaw - Steering
Pitch - Pitch
Trim - Dive or Ascend
Ag.1 - Arm Torpedoes
Ag.8 - Periscope

Notes:
She’s as neutral buoyant as I can neutral buoyancy.

The Trim may not be fully enough when surfacing especially at full speed, simply help the sub by pitching.

There’s a tiny list when she’s submerged, and a tiny dip forwards when stationary, but she is stable for the most part.

Use Trim and Pitch in conjunction when maneuvering underwater(This is easier on PC), especially moving vertically, although if you’re just cruising, then no need.

She has torpedoes, but if you’re playing with the Underwater Mod, they somehow work for the first few seconds and would just arc down completely later on.

This is my second attempt at a submersible, with my first being a proof of concept and basically part of the same project. Thank you to @Shironeko and @BMilan for being the biggest sussy bakas, giving me a challenge to build something that won’t brick the average PC.

Enjoy and happy chomping!
