G'Day all!

Today when I was patrolling the atlantic I was a bit bored [no action in a week], so I decided to test the limits of my IXB. My HI when I started was 100%, no damage whatsoever. Slowly I dived to 264 m. This was the limit. 264m was just fine, but at 265m I started leaking and my HI was getting lower at an alarming rate.

After this image was taken I ordered all ahead full, and blew ballast a dozen times. I kept diving and diving and thought I'd die, but then, at 278m I started rising. When I surfaced I had no compressed air left and my HI was 48%. Flooding in all compartments.

I survived it back to Kiel!:rock:

Modding a sub to go below 300 meters, is like playing the game in god mod.

AI' sensors by default, only go down to 300 meters. Depth charges magically poof and disappear as well. Its like theres this invisible wall at 300 meters. You can change the AI sensors to go deeper, but the depth charges seem to be hardcoded.

I was at one of my friends once,he had GW mod too and we were playing on the net with a friend of his.Both subs were XII's .My pall got blown up by an escort and went on as an observer.The other guy was still playing a bit but got hit pretty nasty and he started to flood or something and couldn't continue to keep depth.He started going deeper...and deeper...but that XXI was not cracking .Untill about300 m that is .The weird thing is ,aldough it was "dead" it still kept on sinking.It reached about 450 meters according to that guy after it just ...dissapeared.
