TM 1.3 crush depth

DreadWing · 08-12-07, 07:30 PM

I was taking my new Balao out to sea trials and went to the deep diving test. I Pressed 'D' and went down until the gauge read 558 feet and then the sub wouldn't go down any further no matter what I try to do.

How do I complete my mission if I haven't reached crush depth and it won't go any deeper?

I tried this earlier with a Gato (not in campaign just randomly during a single mission) and had the same result, went to 558 and wouldn't go any deeper. Once I ran my batteries down to nothing, I sank further and eventually crushed (I think it was well past 600 feet) but is there no way to go further without running your batteries out?

Use the deep depth gauge to set your depth manually. I was in sea trials with a Gato and went to 450 feet (the end of the deep dive guage) before lights started flickering in the conning tower. I surfaced and passed the mission.

The mission requires you take her down to about 430-440 feet or so. To trigger the mission as completed, you have to be at that depth for about 45seconds to a minute or so.

The balao is the only boat where i set the D key functionality to level the boat off, just before its acutal crush depth. The reason is, the depth gauge only goes to 450 feet. By setting the D key to the saftey depth, i would have impaired the balao, and denied it its one true asset, deeper depth as a "thick skinned" boat, so i had to set the D key function, deeper.
