Submarine start above water?

[DrMoonUnit]

So I have finally learned to make subs and I am trying an entire campaign using only sub variants. My problems is that at the beginning of battle, my subs always start above the water and then must dive. I am at war with the DWG and White flyers and have gotten all my fleets destroyed due to the high water start. Is there a way to begin the battle underwater? This would solve my problems. Thanks.

i don't think there is currently a simple way to spawn them underwater on their own, but you are left with 2 options.
1: spawn them underwater using some kind of spawn stick
2: use (those weird water wings that i cant remember the name of) and PiDs to make it dive really really fast when the battle starts.

Hope it helps :D

The lowest altitude you can spawn at is 0m, so all subs start on the surface... UNLESS.. they are the subvehicle spawns of another ship that was spawned on the surface.

So if you make a ship and a sub, put a subvehicle spawner pointing DOWN (direction important), with the angles adjusted so you are not starting your submarine pointing downwards, and set the spawn distance to the desired depth (40m).

The sub will then spawn 40m below your ship.

Excellent posts. I will try both.
