My suggest is that: that s a simulator. So we re supposed to act like a real life skipper.
We should yet pay the combat risk ok?
So if wr wanna survive we should not put the boat in jeopardy without reason.
In combat conditions we re forced to go over test depth sometime.
But like several submariners suggested to me (an admiral that served on ex uss barb in '60 and my grandpa, former ww2 submariner, awarded for gallantry in action.) they sad once to me: never go over test depth without reason. Sometime can ever go wrong.
For example you can loose power and dive planes are blocked to full dive (like the uss grunion....) and you can reach crush depth in few seconds with a non return dive angle (sorry for my english).
The hull damages are fully related to crish depth, and the steel conditions too. For example a boat with a crush depth of 200 meters, with a test depth of 100, just after being commissioned with a young steel, in good conditions can also dive to 250 and come back, but later yoy should scrap it even, since the steel taked too pressure.
A boat with yars of service havent a steel good like one commissioned yesterday.
It depend by how many deep dives it maked.
(every deep dive they mark a cycle for the steel. A boat with many cycles, have a steel that suffered much pressure in his career. And that can be dangerous if you push it too deep. A boat with few cycles have a steel in better conditions also if it s older. That s not absolute ofc and depend by many factors.).
In the game that s simulated so in part:
If you taked the 10% damages to the hull that s mean your crush deoth is reduced by 10%.
So if you ve a crush depth of 200 meters now it s 180.
So calculate this when you taked damages. And dont push the luck if you arent forced by combat conditions or by stealth (for example i like play with older boats until late war. So with a p class, test deoth it s 250 feets but by 1943 in japanese home waters i stay to 300 feets for increase my chance to avoid detection by japanese patrol planes.).
That s my suggest
