IMO not necessary.

Maybe opposite. build_cost = 80 ?

Not sure. On the other hand,
build_cost = 30 could be nasty but submarine should sink by one shot then.

No opinion.

Good.

Good.


I think two last cases are ok and really make submarine more interesting.
Normally submarine is quite useless since it cant escape. You build one,
watch it sailing long trip and gets sunk by accident. Boring.
