Okay, well I could have looked that information up, but I was relying on the information in-game. I consider it a flaw in RFB. I should have gotten a 'passing test depth' message in game after passing 150 or 200.
Isn't this and the red depth needle moddable boat by boat?

I wil give you a bit of hint:D . The S boat had the capabiltiy to do 11 knots submerged. About 16+ surfaced. Test depth in about the 250 range. However, these S boats were anitques at the time WW2 in the PTO started. They were very worn and quite used. What LukeFF did was clip the speeds and hull strength because of the age of the boats at wars start. It provides an uncertainty of your old tub as she patrols. All the boats had a test depth. Many could go much deeper then the engineers said was max. Demonstrated in many patrol reports. However, you are taking the lives of the crew in your hands. Anyway, the S along with the others have the max text depth showing but reaching those depths will play a part in survivability of the sub at said depth. When you reach your test depth, go to the screen that shows hull percentage, if she is loosing percentage, time to take her up to a shallower depth. Of course the crew will start screaming it out that there is hull damage. Time for flank speed to a shallow depth! So, you have two issues to contend with....DC dropping on your head and making the decision whether to reach these test depth and hoping the old tub will take it. Although the engineer said she could do it, it did not mean she was not vunerable as well at these depths. It is the draw of the card with the S class.
I like the S and start my careers in her all the time. :up:
