Credits

  • Thanks to @PilotOfFuture for underwater propulsion.
  • And to any of you tried this, like it? Upvote!

Additional notes

  • Important requirement. Use underwater camera mod by WNP76. Sorry mobile users but we all know the truth that mobile users only exist to suffer.
  • Ocean mod might work but the mod too buggy for me. Try it yourself.
  • Due to game mechanic, torpedoes will dissapear at -52ft (-15m). If you want to keep torpedoes, stay above that.
  • Unlike my usual builds, this was made made totally with blueprints so this build lacking details. On the good side, the part counts pushed down really hard.
  • Some of you already seen my WIP carrier. About that, it's temporarily discontinued. I'm stuck on configuring thruster that fly in group, something like this by @PlanariaLab or this by @girlsandpanzer. So i'm switching project, next post gonna be a cruiser.
