Might the value be a reset from crush depth damage? If you get to crush depth, and are there a certain time, then blow and suface, you might still die on the surface, correct? Perhaps it controls that...
To be quite honest, I didn't even test it around crush depth. It's just too hard, even after changing crush depths and crush times, because the sub could implode before anything was even checked.

I'm going to do some more testing with it, so I'll look into what you ask for.

However, I don't think is has anything to do with rates of depth change so much as time it takes to level out. In my previous testing, I didn't really notice a difference between the time it took to level out during a crash dive, going ahead 1/3, going ahead standard, and going back 1/2.

I'll do some more testing and post the results in a little bit.

FYI:

All tests were done with a Balao-class sub.
