Going instantly into external view and pausing the game, I could see the u-boot plunging into a black Abyss helplessly... at 138 knots. Seeing a Type-XXI actually tumbling, then falling headlong into a blackness that is not water (diesel engines running), was one of the eeriest gaming moments I've had.

Anyway, the falling stopped at 506 meters, despite "tiefe unter keel" reporting 986 meters left. The u-boat was not destroyed of the pressure, because there was no water to produce it. We were in outer space.

You just don't.


(yes that little thing down there is the u-boot. This is the beginning of the fall, zoomed away so I could include the moon)

Set new heading for the abyss, I have to experience this one myself
