Can anyone list max crush depth for subs?

[Incubus]

One thing that always messes me up is that I don't know just how deep I can go without getting crushed. The later type VIIC models are supposed be able to go pretty frickin deep, but how deep can they go?

Depth is generally your friend in open waters; it gives you time to get out of the way of depth charges, particularly if you are tiptoeing along at 1 knot. Decoys are also great because they fool the DDs into thinking you are at a much shallower depth than you really are. I'd like to know just how far I can push my tin can without imploding it.

I do know that at 300 meters, in-game objects like depth charges just disappear, so obviously crush depths can't be beyond that number. But what exactly are they?

In Das Boot, they went pretty damn deep, with the depth gauge practically doing a 360 degree spin :huh: . They had what I believe is a type VIIC, so I'm guessing the sub can take 200+ meters.

What about the others? Does anyone have a list of the absolute MAXIMUM depth each model sub can take at 100% hull integrity?

It's setable as the following variable in a CFG file:

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=12;meters
SnorkelDepth=10;meters
CrashDepth=20;meters
MaxDepth=300;meters

For instance that's from the data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\NSS_Uboat7b.CFG file of a NYGM 2.2 install.

SH3 Commander edits that as well to make it more variable. I've been below 300m before, I think I took a VIIC down to 346m before it went pop.

I think the VII is 240 stock.

If your running GW, press F1 and look under Uboat info im sure they have each subs depth.

Ok, I will try to convert meter into feet. (This may be inaccruate)

100m = 300ft +/-10m approx.
165m = 400 to 450ft. approx.
any past 165m will crush you like an egg.:o

W/ the exception of certain u-boats.

I hope this does help.

Incorrect. Unless I'm in a Type II, I can successfully dive to ~190 meters without crushing. I brought a VIIC/42 to 340 meters safely, and one of my VIIB boats went to 195 meters safely. I use Grey Wolves 1.1a.

My bad, I was thinking of something else.

You are correct.
