Not just in theory, but in reality. Any given boat might have its own quirks, and actual crush depths varied. People tell stories of going far below crush depth and surviving, but of the ones that didn't return we can only guess. Was the boat killed by a depth charge going off very close? Was it dragged down by flooding? Did they think they had it licked and then something they missed gave out? We just have no way of knowing.

In GWX3, the hull integrity indicator is removed, but does it still have effect on the sub? If your crush depth is 250, and you have 50% hull remaining, then your new crush depth is 125? I never understood what the percentage indicator was all about.

I'm not sure exactly how it works either, but one of the wonderful functions of SH3 Commander is the ability to turn it back on at your discretion. I also use h.sie's Colored Hull Integrity Indicator, which replaces the numbers with a color-code: Green for good, Yellow for "who knows?" and Red for "Oh god we're all gonna die!"

Also, when I dive to the point where glass is busting and I'm getting yelled at by my chief, I also notice this starts to tax the hull integrity in stock SH3. Does this mean you're below crush depth, or nearing crush depth? Please explain, I'm kind of confused about the numbers and what they mean.

I do know that if you're below crush depth things will start to fall apart, and quickly. Another function of SH3 Commander is to vary the crush depth so you're never quite sure.
