simple dive to much for my u-boat.
 

This has happened the last 3 times i have played the game. I have dived and once i reach 100 m everything is detroyed. A long list of things, flooding, batterie, diesel engines, bulkheads, deck gun, flak gun! the lot! yet i have not taken any damage:-? it happend a 2nd time when i re started the mission then i tested it a 3rd time and it happened again! this is the first time this has ever happened to me :-?

My game is modded to 1.5, operation monsun. high res skins (should effect the game in such a way i dont think) and a few additional added submarine and speech mods and thats all!

any help would be great! thanks

I heard somewhere that the depth limit for subs is randomly selected at the start of the game. So u might have a bad luck with ur max limit? Who knows?

Not sure if this is correct tho... cant remember where I read this...

if thats true then im really unlucky! 100 meters and im nackered! ahwel.

Thanks anyway m8

go to your sub's directory, open XXX.cfg with notepad, you should see something like this :

I changed the max depth so as to be able to go deeper. The test depth for the Jyunsen B is 100 m, but it's a safety margin, some I boat captains were comfortable with going down to 1.5 times that depth (read it someplace), so I set my max depth to 150 m or 450 feet.

hope that helps,

ps the crush depth is randomly selected with the max depth as a factor : max depth x bad luck X dammaged or not boat or something :)

How can I increase the diving speed? It occurs way to slow to me in contrast to the orginal german boats :06:

I dont think so...The green depth is just for GUI's depth gauge critical depth mark, red line or something. In order to edit submarine crush depth you have to edit sub's .zon file using Goblin or S3d editor...
EDIT:Just saw the date of posting...:88)
Hm, start German campaign?:)

Seriously, during the WWII german U-boats had much shorter diving times than american counterparts ...:03:

To edit diving times and rates you have to edit ballast tanks values in submarine .sim file...

I've managed it with the S3D tool, it worked out fine and opened many "doors" for me, thx!

My general aim is a Jyunsen B exchange for the type 18 in the german campaign with nearly simular poperies of the regular subs, but I cant find a standalnoe Jyunsen-mod.

How can I savely extract her from the big mod in order to perform a proper exchange?
