3 to 5 minutes,yep that's about how long it take the S-boat to get it's Nose down,and then about 1 or 2 more to fully Submerge.

S-Boats are very fun to drive.I find myself playing in them the more than the others.
They are Slow,Old,Fragile,and Dive slower than Molassas in January!

The MK 10s aren't the best Torpedos to use when attacking Convoys either.They are pretty slow.Have a VERY visable Wake.And Their maximum range leaves you very close to possible escorts.

Plus the Test Depth is pretty Shallow,And the Crush Depth...
Well Lets just say I Don't go below 275 feet unless ABSOLUTLY NESSISARY,because you are getting VERY VERY close to Crush Depth (for me it Varies from 280-350 Feet)
