There’s not reeally that much of a difference, except in the nose performance, if they are on the bow, then the nose will rise slightly quicker, but for the most part, with Subs, it really doesn’t make a difference since ballast is the work horse of diving and submerging.
What is more interesting is the difference between Ballast control on Western Subs and ballast on Russian subs, as they both have different ways of controlling it, the Western way is more complex. Look it up, i have it in a book somewhere about here, should be on the net too!
Not to sure about Chinese types, but since most of their subs have derived from Russian, it stands to reason that they’d use the Russain ballast controls.
