Not quite true, in my war patrol nș 20 (March, 17 1942 at 14:22 game time) with a type: VIIC i was attacking for the second time a large convoy, South of Iceland when i was attack at the PD by a Destroyer. The deep charges attack cause a heavy flotting in: stern quarters, diesel engines, and stern torpedo room. The U-boat starts to sink very fast, at the same time i put my crew at work in the repairs with main objective to stop the heavy flotting, with repairs is carring on, minutes later we passe the "red line" of the 160 m (i think to myself its over now if i coundnt stop the heavy flotting very son i will crash by the deep) the U-boat countinued to go down, with out stoping the heavy flotting, minutes later we are at 260 m and countinued to go down, with the U-boat holding the pressure (at this time i was very very nervous about all this stress for my surprised i still alive and all so my crew) and minutes later we crush the ocean floor with a tremendous noise!
When i check the deep we are at 503 m deep! i coundnt belive in my eyes...503 metres and the U-boat still intact, my crew countinued to work and we are able to control the heavy flottting, but my happiness runs out when i checked the damege areas, the report was: two electric engines destroyed, compressor destroyed, and one diesel engine destroyed. It was the end...i see the clock and it was 14:30 even with this critical situation i order to blow balast untill no air left but with out any results at all the U-Boat dont move a inch...i was buried alive in the sea floor at 503 meters bellow the surface! The pressure was so hight wich it wasnt possible to go no where, twenty four hours later we are all death because the lack of air. Even in death you cant have a choice to have a fast or slowly death, the death is certanly but no one nows how gona die!
