"Good day captain, we send you this message because you have served us well and your team was able to use our newest submarines to their full potential. As you should already know, the radiation is unstoppable at this rate, all our near-surface stations are forced to be abandoned and there is almost no time left for action. In times like this, we desperately need to move closer to the eye, hence, we search for teams like yours to investigate and explore deepest parts of our planet in order to establish new stations. With that said, we offer you our new modification of RC-M4, to complete said mission. Get to the nearest Coalition station and retrieve your new submarine, get the work done. We are counting on you."

I added possibility to drain ballast, as was suggested in the comments.
New addition to the sub is the universal weapon system - UWS. This is basically a plain turret (flak in stock configuration) and additional railgun with one-slot loader (so that it would need teamwork, or you would not be able to rapid fire your shells). You can change flak turrets to whatever you prefer more (even second railgun), but the additional railgun system will be attached to the same "turret", periscope and supercapacitor.
"Pressure boost" activation button is accessible with the terminal, basically, it is a system of hidden and indestructible engine + battery, but it is still connected to the main engine, so that if main engine broke, you could not activate speed boost and if it breaks during the boost, it will stop. It can work for around 40 seconds going full speed and will charge up for around 300 seconds.
I used "Rusted steel" mod for the base of the drone, so it works the same way, except you don't have railgun on it and you don't control it while riding it, you use separate persicope that is located behind captains chair/terminal. Hold left mouse button to move (horizontal door will open automaticly) and press it two times to switch controls to the chaingun.
Also, couldn't find who made the art, so if it is yours, sorry.
