Good tip but you underestimate my laziness. I would much rather not even bother with depth.

Even more important is the danger of having the tubes open if you dive deeper 25 meters or so. The outer doors open outward, and at greater depths the pressure makes the seal stronger, just like the hatches (Johann could never have opened that hatch anyway). The inner doors open inward, and if the outer doors were open the pressure would likely force the inner doors open as well, and that could really dampen everyone's spirits.
Thanks Sailor Steve. That's the sort of detail to the concerns a u-boat crew would have that make it all so continuously interesting here.

It's also one of the funny parts of the game. When I attack I usually open all the doors manually so I don't have to wait for them to open before I fire each tube. One game I dove deep and when I realized they were still open I tried to close them..."Cannot open doors below 25 meters!"

I'm not trying to open them, you stupid machine, I'm trying to close them!:damn: :rotfl:

The tube doors close when you select another tube not?

Yes, unless you manually open them with the switches that are near the tdc, I think..

I recall someone posting how to shoot a rapid fire single shot salvo that way, but I'm not sure what the context was
