an hour or so later, a bigger freighter sails across my path. i gave him a torpedo, before several rounds from the gun sent him to hell.
now withing a few hundred miles of my deployment zone, i set course. just as day come up, and i'm wondering if i should dive to hide from any air patrols, i see an airplane. he is not on course for me, so i have time to crash dive before he makes any attack.
heres where it gets weird.
at about 90 (meters) i started getting severe damage reports, and then my sub asploded. all hands lost.
i didnt hit anything, and i was too deep to get hit by the plane. it was like i sailed into the bermuda triangle.
any idea what got me?

As Pepsican wrote, may be you hit the bottom.
A mine is not an option, sure they are not present at 90m depth.
There are more options...
Which sub you was sailing ?
Had you taked damage before this incident ?
If yes...
When you take some kind of damage, your crush depth is dramatically reduced, then if you sail a sub with a small crush depth, as S Class, Gar, Porpoise, Salmon or similar... at 90 you are done...
And this... assuming you use increased crush depth mod.... if not, you may be crushed even a little under periscope depth.
If this is the case, you was victim of the suddently "domino" effect... as it is called/knowed by "folks".
90m depth is not a safe depth even for a Gato and Balao with increased crush depths if you had teked damage previouslly....
I wait for your feed back on this... i am interested because Pcelt and me was working and testing a little pack of tweaks called "Die Slowly", to minimize this effect.
