How deep have you taken you Sub?

[iven72]

And lived to tell the tale?

I have been down to 190 using the salmon class.

[switch.dota]

I've been down to about 350 meters before the bulkheads finally gave way... :dead:

Otherwise the max I went was about 30m below crush depth.

[SteamWake]

All the way to the bottom :dead:

[iven72]

how do you know where crush depth is? My gage only goes to 165m

[TwistedFemur]

well didnt live but it went to 690 feet before the death spiral it was a gato:sunny:


Edit The XO? (the guy who calls out the depth) said we were at 690 feet

[leovampire]

The deepest I got before problems started was 350 ft and the creeks were loud enough to scare the hell out of me using a suround sound system with a subwoofer

[Grey_Raven75]

790ft. And then made it back up to 155ft before the walls came crashing in.

You're on the shallow gauge, if you hit the little button right below the gauge it will change to the deep water one. This also works for the other gauges as well, it changes to different instruments.

[Fincuan]

165 meters is the deep gauge. The shallow one is ~30 meters iirc.

The deepest I ever made is 600ft, it was a few miles off of Singapour after a harbour recon. I'd seen a Heavy Cruiser n taken a pot shot at it whiles bugging out, afterwards i was chased by DDs and tried to make like a hole in the water, didnt work... Shattered the my aft fish bowl and the engine room so I ended up sinking down to the bottom and sat there until repairs we're finished. On the down side.. I ran out of oxygen at 100 ft and died of asphyxiation:damn: ..

With Regards,

Krauter

615ish (feet) -the clothesline was on the floor

Then emergency blow full reverse.

One can stay at deeper depths, but not for long ;) and def. not to be tried with any damage.

I've only been down to 450ft how do you get deeper?

I like to edit my boat's .cfg file and make the max depth DEEP. This removes the govenor and allows me to go beyond the 160 feet listed.

Do a Crashdive, once level-off begins, Press the D key.

Having said this, your boat's Structural Integrity (aka hull that keeps the ocean out) remains the same. So it's upto the brave to 'dive test'

:arrgh!:

Where are the files to tweak? answers greatly appreciated,

I can't take my boat down any deeper than the "D" automatically lets me, can't find any way to dive beyond this. It's usually 560-600ft (at least for my current Balao)

[panzer 49th]

I survived for 10 minutes and then resurfaced I was at 500ft in a Baloa-class

[thyro]

890ft with 1st US "thin can" and surviving ... went pop at 980ft

For sure that my crew did all that they could to hold the walls togetter with neils and wood ... but it was to much pression on the hull...

:)

[leovampire]

and are going deeper than would normaly be possable for those sub's without meeting Davy Jone's
