@Fashy Weird, I’ve never encountered that myself. I’ll do a test later today and see if I encounter it, but the only way I can think of that happening is if you start moving the submarine immediately after starting the reactor, causing the reactor to not be able to provide power to everything due to the high power consumption. Only other thing I can think of is that a mod could be causing it.

@Adventure_gamr this ship has an issue where when you start the ship up it shows the oxygen gen running but the ship runs out of oxygen.

@Adventure_gamr I wish you luck in tweaking it, if that is what you plan to do :)

The part about AI on the rear chaingun isn't something that I encountered during testing. The few test runs I did where AI were in charge of the guns they seemed to handle it, however the submarine seems to work much better in multiplayer so the majority of the testing was done there, hence why I may not have noticed any odd AI behaviour on guns.

(Had to send this as three separate comments because of the character limit lol)

As for the junction boxes, then having them all in the same room is something I've seen plenty of other submarines do, and from experience makes it easier to get everything back up instead of having to traverse the whole submarine to get everything up and running. I know it's a problem when the submarine initially floods, however then it should probably be a priority for the engineers and mechanics to fix the hull breach and then the junction boxes. It could also be that the group I tested this submarine with are used to playing on Barotraumatic, so having the whole submarine be flooded is a common occurrence. I can see if I can increase the wall strength around the junction boxes and reactor room, which in hindsight makes sense to have.

@Grei Shoutmon Thank you for your feedback. While some of the points you mention are meant to be attempts at balancing the submarine (Engine weakspot and speed), then I do agree that perhaps the engine speed is a little too slow at times. I can do some experiments with a slightly higher engine power, and increase the overall power consumption of the engine as well since I want to keep the feeling of this being a slow and heavy submarine.

In terms of armor, the submarine has the same armor strength across the entire hull, and this applies to the double armor in front as well. The only exception to this would be the window in the command room, which can be closed if need be. Therefore I belive that the "problem" with armor is that it feels weaker where creatures happen to attack the most, however I can see if it's possible to tweak some of the values.

Conqueror Issues:
1. Weak top armor
2. Weak double armor on the belly
3. Engine is is a weakspot for damage.
4. SLOW speed, British speed.
5. Engine must be upgraded, because it will get trapped and unable to actually go anywhere.

6. The minigun in the rear is not ai friendly; they will look and point at the enemy, but will not fire.
7. Poorly placed Junction boxes: If water gets in, they are immediately damaged and EVERYTHING on the sub will fail.

Honest opinion: This submarine is a 1950's death trap, and a technological, electrical nightmare.

Seems to have roleplay aspects, good for a good long campaign, especially with dynamic europe.
