Being curious I decided to test the U-Boat Mod with ROW mods to see what happens. At first, everything seemed fine. Inside the U-Boat, we lost the sonar station visit. It still works (sonar) but you can't go there. The radio room and captain's bed can be found but the camera rolls wildly and you cannot control it much.

The real trouble started when I was in 1000ft depth in a U-Boat and ordered crash dive. Within 100 ft of surface all hell broke loose. There was a hull breach and flooding, men down, and the outside views were stuck.

The damage repair screen still showed 000 hull damage, but three compartments were flooded and about eight men dead. (health 0)

Blowing ballast didn't rise the boat at all. We were still around 225 ft but were getting shallow water warnings. The depth was still reported as deep.

Then it crashed to desktop.

The AMerican boats worked too, as I started existing career missions from port. I didn't try the crash dive.

There are no German single missions, no quick missions, and no German Academy content.

I have removed all ROW modding now and am trying again. DON'T believe the tooltip on crash dive that says 160 ft. This time I continued to dive right to the bottom at 260 ft. I slowed down and was slowly drifting downward foot by foot.

Looks like another premature release by UBI

The old ROW files is NOT compatible with SH 1.5, try Pacific Environments alpha:

The problem is with the old zones special effects from ROW the crash depth is wrong.

Im working on it and the above version works with just 2 bugs.

1. You wont be able to see the sonar station.
2. You get a blank screen if you click on the crew members.

Or, don't install ROW zones/effects. That's what does this.
