Hi Niume
i search and find this :

 

" At the start of the war these boats could go from fully surfaced to periscope depth in approximately 45–50 seconds.(.....)
By mid war, these measures combined with improved crew training got dive times down to 30–35 seconds,
very fast for such a large boat and acceptable to the boat's crew."

and this (dive time):

 

Dive speed is always referred to "from fully surfaced to periscope depth"
So I did a Test with Gar Class from surface 15 knot speed to periscope depth (red line in deephmeter) :
1)Dive---->47"



2) Crash Dive---->37"


I think good gameplay
