P-Funk, only about 120 meters? Well considering test depth was 410 ft and it was 25 years after it was built, I would have liked you to be there when it happened. It wouldn't have only been 120 meters to you when your a-s was down there....:huh:

i bet it would be scarry. its scary enuf to go with a VIIB to 350m in the game :dead:

HM.Medico 04-27-07 10:17 PM

Took my VIIB to 260 meters.

Hull began buckling so I ordered an immediate blow ballast

Didn't set in until about 280 meters and in the end I had about 25% intergrity and a lot of brown pants, and I don't mean that of the PO's ;)

Went back to Willemshaven and vowed to never _ever_ be so careless with test dives again :lol:

Does the position of the crew really effect U-boat physics? Is this in the stock game or a GWX tweak? :hmm:

This point has been discussed/debated many times and as yet no definitive answer has arisen. Personally, I don't think the positioning of the crew has any bearing at all :nope:

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr 05-03-07 05:38 AM

i second it

WOW!

I didn't know there were any still operational! I've virtually been on one in a game, but never personally.

Can you get me a ride?:rotfl:

Reminds me of a scene from the movie U-571, when the Special Ops agent asks the Captain how deep the U.S. sub will go:

"All the way to the bottom if we don't stop her". :yep:

I'm fairly certain that it does. I'll run some tests on it later, but I'm certain that crew position matters.

Mind...it has been timed using a stopwatch :lol:
