    You have the general concept of my last comment. Those weird poles can be used if you ever place floating engines on them; they must be detached from the Sub Body and yes Windows and iOS allow that. The result is a diving thing that just goes up and down. I’m using a notmal iOS device as I respond - which creates fun surface Submarine models. @Stellarlabs

    @Stingray thanks for the advice. If you mean the weird poles and stuff that are small and is holding the sub in the water, i cant really get those smaller without problems, my screen is relatively small. Its the only way i can let the sub dive and ect. The other structures and stuff can be dealt with though

    A WIP that has promise. Functional: lose the external structures. Weapons: Stock Jundroo torpedoes are ineffective - use something else. Control: add controls. There exist only a few Jundroo posts which have funtional Submarine-build control systems.
