    After searching for those darn liners I had enough and crash dived into my doom.





    Tried to get to 300 but at 298 the pressure got me, 2 meters short
    So my record is 298 meters.

    I drew my last breath at 260m one, the boat was already damaged some.

    I've been as low as snorkel depth. Though once in an extreme emergency I ordered a dive to periscope depth!

    That was scary...all the creaking and whatnot.

    Every once in a while I go deep to test out how far I can go. Last time I stopped at 232, which isn't even close to your 298. That's impressive, just too bad you didn't survive the encounter. That's 1000feet deep, not bad even by today's standards.

    I've dived really deep too, death is almost certain past 190m but I've blown ballast from nearly this depth and made it back to the surface. My hull integrity was something like 55% afterward. It was when I was using a type VIIB but I've noticed the diving depths is the same for all boats.

    Baletzan... how the **** did you get that deep!? o_O

    That was some kind of Type VII was it? or a Type XXI?

    You didn't mod anything did you?

    I'm sure he has a mod. Real Uboot mod has adjusted the crush depths to more realistic values, but even 298m is a bit on the extreme end. But also remember, that's the depth he reached before his sub crushed, it's NOT the safest deep depth that can be reached.

    I have RUb mod, and the deepest I was brave enough to go was 230. By the time I started surfacing, I had gone another 2 meters deeper, so my max depth is 232 at this time. This was with getting no damage yet.

    Well I didn't dive to stay alive, if I had I would have stopped around 230. After that your chances to get up alive are far and few between.
    And I was very impressed when I reached 260 and went off the "tiefenmesser". Too bad it stops and doesn't go on as it would IRL (at least a bit).

    I didn't notice anyt changes in the hull integrity, might be because I was too busy
    And I don't think the diving depths are the same, I have the 1.3 patch which I believe was the one that fixes the diving depths. The first time I checked it out when the patch arrived I reavhed something around 220-250 in the happy times mission. The dive was made in U-46 or U-48, can't remember the number of my own boat , I think it was U-48. Type VIIb, in late 1939 in mid atlantic. And no mods, honest. The only mod I should have is the swastika mod, but the sky and smoke mod might still be "in" dunno about that. Only if I had made it back up...

    I went down to 159M in a VIIB. I wasn't moving forward/backwards at all and hit "A" to maintain current depth, but the darn sub kept sinking. I was evading a pair of V&Ws so I was trying to stay as quiet as possible, but had to turn the engines on in order to stop sinking. Does the boat automatically sink when deep and at full stop or is my boat just defective?

    I need to try how deep I can get and live to tell about it, you're right about death being certain past 190m, you have to be quick and lucky to get out alive past 200.
