For the latest info see:
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/1335

As you can see there, i got some network problems with those Subs diving
But this is solved and now its waiting for merging into develop version.

The mod is just a proof of concept.
(The code is old and can cause some lag.)

This is actually a really frustrating thing. I didn't expect it to be as cumbersome as described... good catch

Maybe we could have it like the split between idle/working engies, with two symbols in the unit list for surfaced/dived subs.

if tried on all subs, and the behaviour is the same for all.

But i'm not sure we want to change it.
Maybe a better solution, would be as ZLO asked elsewhere to have a better UI so we can recognize underwater sub and sufaced subs better from strategic view.
or being able to press a key while selecting unit with mouse and select only surfaced or under-water subs.

Submerge/Surface button

2016-05-31T22:03:11+02:00

This button current takes everything selected and does the opposite of it's current status. e.g if i want to raise some t3 subs safely to kill some annoying air and some new subs arrive on the scene, i have to zoom in and manually select the ones i want to re submerge rather than being able to select all and click or double click to have them all submerged again. Is there a purpose i've missed for the current way of doing it? If not, can it be changed?
