When I started playing SH3 - I often lost my career early on because I had tried to dive too deep in shallow water. These days I tend to plan attacks on escorted convoys where I know I have at least 200 Metres under the keel and always ping the depth before diving. If I have a criticism of the game it is that it doesnt allow a submarine to settle onto the bottom or dock against land without incurring serious damage. In real life there must be many locations where it is possible to do this provided the approach is gently and slow.
