Would changing the test depth values of the subs to the actual crush depths work? e.g. change the Balao's 400 ft depth to 600 ft, so you can dive below the red bar in normal dive mode.
Well....Test depth is test depth and collapse depth is collapse depth.

US subs at the time were designed with a 1.75 margin...Balao class test depth was 400ft......collapse depth was somewhere around 700, with HTS steel that may have increased to 900.....
