Submarine underwater speed

Hi,
I would like to change the submarine's underwater speed without changing its surface speed. I thought that would be an easy task but I can't find the correct line of code.
Thanks!

Only way I see of doing this would be to have a giant obstacle object (such as barbwire for soldiers) that is placed at the bottom of the sea. This obstacle object would somehow be coded to slow down the vehicle and would not have any effect on the submarine when it is still at the surface.

Airplane engine? Since they don't work under water

And if you want to increase your underwater speed you can have a second engine, c_ETShip, positioned above the water line when surfaced.

This might change the movement physics since the force is coming from a different location on the vehicle. But worth playing with.

This works and it's also very easy to do, thanks a lot. Thread marked as [SOLVED].
