ive only sunk down once uncontrollably, and i saved myself... so i want to be able to do it again more often
Yes its quite simple... take the timetravellers mini tweaker, open the .zon file of the specific u-boat you're using and change the hitpoints.

I changed mine from 550 to 2000, and i have been in paradise city

Depth charged to the bone, sinking to the depths incontrolably, everything destroyed, crew being killed and i was able to watch all this happens...

If you want to watch the disaster to the very ending, i suggest you edit the hitpoints to a value like 5000.

And dont worry about thinking "Im cheating, if i do this my boat will be indestructible"... thats not quite right... everything INSIDE your u-boat will be destroyed as normal, including equipment, flooding times, crew, etc, so you wont be able to even move, youll be with all your engines, fuel tank, and equipment detroyed, all you could do is blowing ballast, but again with all compartments flooded you wont be going anywhere but down! the only thing you're doing is delaying the death screen pop-up and having more time to watch the disaster, eating your popcorn!

Any further questions on that, PM ME!
You are partly correct. However, things aren't nearly as simple as you would have people believe.

There are very negative/unrealistic side effects/behaviors when you make changes that transform your U-boat into a Tiger tank.

You will see.

There are very good reasons why we chose not to increase the hitpoints for player subs in GWX.

If you use the forum search eventually you will understand why.
