This is an older post but i dusted off my sh 4 with TMO 2.5 and playing it right now.
This result(collapse at 300 feet) seems very reasonable to me.Hull damage decreases crush depth.with 100% hull integrity it should around 450 feet because crush depth is a litttle about 1.5 times your test depth.
The main problem with diving deep in SH4 TMO 2.5 is that the boat becomes instable at low speeds beyond 550 feet.Until 550 feet one can go with 2 to 3 knots.Beyond that the boat needs to be faster and faster to stay at commaned depth.
the solution is therefore to incease speed and set dive planes for surface.
700 feet its around 6knots.Which sucks because it drains the batteries.
IF your engines are ****ed up and you are sub 550 feet the boat is lost.Even blow ballast wont do it.
