Submerging/Surfacing Subs

[Beebop]

How is this accomplished?

I have a Group where subs don't really dive but they disappear (dive) and reappear (surface) further down the waypoint path.

 

Is there a way to do the noted visual sequences below?

@ :50, Dive sequence
@ 4:35 Surface sequence.

waypoint below water ?

I'll try that.

IT WORKED!

 

Ship reaches first waypoint set at Y = 0.

Screenshot 1: After passing WP1 sub begins to submerge.  Waypoint 2 set at Y = -5.

Screenshot 2: Sub fires torpedoes at enemy ships.  Note curvature of torpedo path.  (Now we need Ju-88's with circling torpedoes like 1946!)

Screenshot 3: Sub passes torpedoed freighter

Screenshot 4:After passing WP2 sub begins to Surface.  Waypoint 3 set to Y = 0.

 

Yet another undocumented feature of the ME.

Thanks for suggesting the idea.  You live up to your handle, "Genius". ?

That's cool, I'll have to try this. Will be interesting to try and setup 2 routes then trigger the sub to switch to a submersion route when enemy get within visual range some variation of that.

 

thanks for sharing.

I have a group in sharing thread where the sub submerges when an enemy aircraft is near, and surfaces when safe.
