Is there anyway to correct the crush depths to accurate levels? | Forums

Every u-boat book I read tells tales of dropping to 285 - 300 meters in Type VII's. We certainly can't get this deep in a VII!

I woulden't want to be that deep with a depth charge going off close to the sub...

I supose it will get you deeper

From what I have been reading...the DC's couldn't get down that deep. So the subs were risking crush damage to get under the charges.

How deep have you guys taken yours? I got my VIIB to 200m last night but didn't go any deeper, was too scared

I have been down to 220 meters in a type VIIB. You MIGHT start taking damage at 210 but usually you don't get any until 220+. You should not be afraid to click up to 210. Most of the time up to 220 is safe for damage free decent as well.

I have done the same in type IX B/C/41's as well. I once put a B model down to 219 and then went and did grocery shopping. When I returned there was no problems. The game stats say the IX is good for 15 more meters then the VII, but I fail to notice any difference.

I don't like damage on my sub so I havent gotten deeper. It is my understanding though that you can in fact go deeper without mods. Usually at 220-224 you get 1 percent of damage and no flooding.

I would recomend you save the game and dive at flank speed to 210 just to prove it to yourself. Familiarity makes it much easier.

I can go 250 and hold for a while if my sub is undamaged. VIIC

You could always try Timetravellers mod "SH3 Crush Depth V2" A program to change sub crush depths in Silent Hunter III.
