Crush damage (and necessarily so) takes time to accrue. When you reach those unreasonable depths... it means you are on a one-way ticket to Davey Jones locker... and crush damage is actively accruing.

If we increased the speed of the crush damage, all sorts of other madness occurs in-game.

In SH3 (and GWX) "crush depth" is the point where you BEGIN to take damage... not the point of "instant-death."

Technically, you can spend a very short time below your crush depth and survive it... but you better be blowing ballast like hell and running flank to get to the surface... to stay ahead of your NEW crush depth as it is continually reducing.

Crush damage, as it begins to occur... lessens the crush depth.

If your hull integrity is low enough... you may crush even at periscope depth.
