Are you saying that the rate of water entering the boat at 60' depth is essentially the same as at 300'? I wouldn't think so in real life - water pressure should be less at shallower depths and thus enter into the equation of how much water comes through pressure hull leaks.
In other words: less water should enter the sub at 60' than at 300'. Or: with a given leak more water should enter the boat the deeper you get, making flooding progressively worse as taking on water makes your boat heavier and thus go deeper. Unless SH4 does not model this correctly. Anyone know for sure?
I find that repair and especially flooding times seem to be more favorable at shallow depths. But this is by no means a quantified observation. Anyone tested this?
