They built those IXB's tough, there my favorite. Though I'm using a VIIB stock at the moment.
Just hit a convoy, took out the lead DD (Black swan) in one hit from 2200m with a medium speed t1 set on magnetic pistol, running about a foot to shallow.
It stopped it dead in the water till it sunk ten min later.
I hit some more large ships but ran into the other DD and was forced down to the depths. I stayed around 140-200m for 2 and a half hours.
That was the longest a single DD held me up, especaily so early in the war.
That damned pipe hissed for hours..

Also im wondering how to post pic's here, I have them in .bmp but not sure from here. I would post in another thread but i see you posted one so if it's simple your help would be appreciated

just convert them to *.jpg and load them to image-shack. this link then can be posted in the board .....

I normally make about 220m in a VII (unless of course the random crush depth activates in Commander),and normally stay there for 1-2hrs if under attack :yep:

You can use Irfanview to convert them...tis free:

I stuck up a pic i took last night of a brit DD shooting down another brit DD.
the pictures arn't great because by the time I noticed it and took a couple it was over

does commander work with GWX3

Yes, but for best results you will also need the additional config files designed specifically for Commander when used with a GWX3 install of the game.

Get Commander here:

and the config files installer here:

What mods, or modifications, are you using?

I am using GWX 3 and Commander.

Just had to ask, so somebody without those mods doesn't try, and die.

The unmodded absolute maximum depth of a IXB, if all the dice rolls are favorable is 216 meters. One usualy does not get that far before crushing.

I know iv'e gone deeper than that, I only recently modded my SH3.
I can't recall what kind of type IX it was, but im pretty sure it was a IXB.

Though it was only the XXI that I had past 300m, and like I said I only held it for the time it took to smoke a ciggarette. I do alot of battle drills, keeps your mind sharp.

Sorry I didnt respond to your question sooner,looks like Frau beat me to it ...grr :shucks:

Last night I took my Type IX down to about 220m after getting pounded pretty good. Deck gun was out, attack scope out, obs scope damaged, bow flooding in forward two compartments.

I was surprised it took the depth.

Running GWX3.

yeah i installed that commander mod, it's great. I now have GWX3gold with commander and the new interiors mod
