Hi Popeye...
At first you need to know what are you using, feet or meters.
It is into game options.
Then, if you click in the button under the depth dial, you go to the extended scale dial, after V1.2 there is a red needle indicating what is you crush depth.
it is not true at all, because the position for this red needle is commanded by the sub xxx.cfg file, i set all my red needles at about 15 meter prior the crush depth.
The crush depth is commanded by another files, sub xxx.zon files, and it is wrong called "crash depth" there...
In example, i have adjusted for my Balao class, Crash Depth (the crush depth) as 186 meters, into the Balao .zon file, and the red needle at 165 meters into the Balao .cfg file.
Then... you need to know if you are using feet or meters.... go to the game options.
If you use the stock files, subs has reduced crush depths, if you have modified files, you have increased crush depths
Are you using modified .zon files ?
If not...
You can modify them using MiniTweaker from TimeTraveller.
Or download the increased crush depth files into the mod list topic.
Now.... you can be sure which is your "NON DAMAGED" crush depth.
And... you must to remember, if you taked damage previously.... the adjusted crush depth value is DRAMATICALLY reduced.
Even if you have modified crush depth values, increased values, if you had teaked damage previouslly, at 90m you are done...
And may be at 90 feet too...
Without tweaked files, after take severe damage, some times you start up the domino effect even if you dive to peri depth.
It depend on hull damage... some times you can dive to peri depth safe, some times you can dive to 20 or 30m, but another times at 20 or 30 meters you start up the domino effect, and you are done.
Not thust on the crew message "hull is reapired sir" or "hull is intact sir", it is a lie... they are really talking about the "Bulkhead" not "HULL".
Even with this 'safe" message, you may have severe hull damage, to know it you must to save the mission and read the saved files, is the only place where the hull damage is showed.
I made a small pack of tweaks, not solve this problem, but made it to happens not often, and most of the times you are able to dive at crash depth (40m) safe after take damage.
look for "Die Slowly Stage 13c" here...
