Okay, I was playing around in a porpoise in 1941. I dove down to crush depth, the red line. The crew would not dive past it on thier own. No matter how many times I told them to dive with the "D" key, they went about five more feet, then back up to the red line. I was trying to see exactly how deep I could go undamaged, so I set depth to 350. That did it, down we went.
At 350 we leveled off. No sign of damage, just alot of creaking and moaning. I set depth to 400ft. At 375 I valve started spraying water above my XO's head. I hit the level off key and there we stayed at 375. After a couple minutes, the leak stopped, no further damage reported. I was impressed, I didn't even know a leak was modelled there.
I decided to go a little futher. Bad decision. At 376 I had catostrophic failure. I know before v1.4 there was a set time you could stay under crush depth. Did I just reach that time or have they changed the damage modelling? I was under crush for probably about 30 minutes, I should have kept better time. one more thing, when everything started leaking, half my crew lost thier shirts! I don't thing it was a glitch as they had hairy chests modelled underneath!
