Increasing the speed will then cause the rear to be pushed down, resurfacing the sub. This will cause the ship to submerge if limited speed is applied (from the rear propellers). The concept of this alternative is to make your sub front-heavy. While the above method (using downward propellers to 'push' the submarine underwater) is easier to control, this faster but more risky alternative is possible to do This will make the water hold down the front.Īfter you have a basic sub built, you can add weapons - just note that only the Underwater Torpedoes work when submerged! Any guns should be put on top so you can rise from the water and use them as needed so you at least have some form of firepower when engaging ships when surfaced.ġ0) Modify ballasts as needed as you want the submarine to balance well with the new cargo.ġ1) Test the sub in Drill>Battle - see if you can kill other ships without being seen!ġ2) You can always give your submarine a cool paint job, like blue for camouflage.ġ4) Note: On multiplayer on the map morning sea and evening sea, subs can't be seen! Using the depth gauge block, the minimap and some practice will assist in underwater navigation. If it "dolphins", add fins to the sides of the sub, near the front.
After this trim the hull to your preference.ģ) Cover ALL sides of the engine in 600mm (or 200mm armour, it will make the submarine less armoured but it weights the same as 600mm lightweight and makes building a sub much more cheap) lightweight armor as engines won't work underwater.Ĥ) Add various sculpted blocks to increase the sub's hydrodynamics.ĥ) Add some (preferably 2-4) propellers to the back.Ħ) Add some (preferably 3-6) propellers to the bottom - orient them with the poles facing DOWN.ħ) Test it - increasing the throttle should cause it to dive and drive forward.Ĩ) Add ballasts as needed, you want to be able to dive and rise to the surface easily. Step 3: I prefer to use small aircraft boilers.
Move it around to take up as little space as possibleĢb) Expand the platform and add a second engine. Step 1: The platform, make it 7 blocks wideĢ) Place an Angled Boiler (or some small boilers to make it cheaper, but take up more of the percentage bar, and aircraft carrier engines are better for smaller submarines) on the platform. 1) Build a small platform of 600mm or normal ballast armour.
