Why not now? This day is good enough..:stare:

A little understanding of the files is a help but a fine balance must be found or a CTD ensues.

Are you sure? I have done 270 m in a IXC

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Ask him if he responds so you will know the truth, :shifty:

Righteoooooo in easy speeeeeek....

Was in response to your question

A commonly understood Brit (well in the UK anyway) response to mean "Yes", I worked on the files for more than a day or two or should that be years :03:

I hit 259m with my IXB on my newest campaign. I couldn't make it dive any deeper because that's where the dial stops...

At that depth you will have to maintain propulsion/momentum because the pressure at that depth (even ingame) will mean you continue to sink...never trust in your dial when you go off the scale.

"I worked on the files for more than a day or two or should that be years" Jim! I have never questioned your opinion with regard to jobs, and what you do, I have a hard enough life as it is, without being able to say things as what you ask :cry:

Well you've got me now....something very fundamental appears to have been lost in translation.

Best leave it at that, this thread is starting to get derailed :timeout:

I dunno... It seemed level at exactly 259. I couldn't make it go down to 260. I was going at 2 kn, if that matters.

Possibly needed another knot or two but the boat will eventually reach a point where you feel there is an invisible force sucking you down...at least in GWX it did.

Heck Ive had that happen way before 260. Ive had it happen to me at 200m where if I dont keep at least 1 or 2 knots, I start to sink ever so slowly.

Yes me too, although I don't always sink, sometimes the boat wants to go up rather than down. But this is more realistic no? I was under the impression that U-Boats could not hover at a certain depth and need a certain amount of forward motion to maintain depth. Although I can still hover at periscope depth while stopped with no problems, although that's fine by me.

Well like he said it depends on your depth. The boat needs a positive bouyancy (Sp??) to float up and a negative one to float downward. At a certain depth mathematically there is no way that the boat could achieve even a neutral bouyancy to maintain depth, so all it will do without momentum is sink. The way I see it is each depth has a certain amount of bouyancy required to overcome it, more being required the further down you go because of the weight of all of the water on top of you. At least thats how it makes sense in my mind. :shucks: If anyone really knows why please do prove me wrong, I don't mind learning a new thing or two :yeah:
