No. I have some damage in rudder (not the planes), and electric engines (3 knots at full ahead). I get to mantain depht at 150-160 mts. with manual planes and blow ballast but the chase was too long and the drain of compressed air is too much. I tried to stop the boat and mantain depht, very difficult manipulation between planes and blows for a slow dive, but I can't mantain a "fixed" depht. It's immersive, but also it is not my work as commander to pilot the boat as aflight simulator
. Autoplanes only works in normal, undamaged situations and up to 100-120 mts. depht. Pass it and autoplanes don't work as expected. A detail: my crew is green. Maybe with a more seasoned crew things work better.
Many thanks and regards.
