- - What !? (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=241474)

Hello skippers,

I'm very new here and in the subsim too, so first thing "Hello/presentation asked at end of registering as asked":Kaleun_Salute: (Didn't see dedicated topic)

Then What !? I think there is something I don't understand with the subs, I just got crushed at 140 in a VIIB who reach 220 once... but ! I was escaping from a "not that good" convoy attack, 4 fishes launched, 2 hits, 1 missed, and 1 blow-up halfwayy from target, got pinged, crash dive, full foward, hard starboard then DC rain, took a small hit but no flooding, so silent running, engine stop and keep the dive aiming 200, crushed at 140, game over >What !?

Notable thing maybe, the DC hit damaged my e-compressor.

Other question is there an optimal depth for hydrophone listening when searching targets ?

Asahvan!:Kaleun_Salute: obviously that DC did more damage than surmised....or a DC lodged in your conning tower(wintergarten)and 'kablooy'd' at it's preset 140 depth as U descended....:Kaleun_Wink:

if your hull integrity is no longer 100% you will crush at lower depths, the boat doesnt need to be flooded .

Thanks for your answers ! Should have guess it ;)
