USN Subs test depths according to German SH4 Site.

Celeon999 posted the following information on the Ubisoft Forums:

The german SHIV site has published the test depth values for all subs in the game as these are obviously missing in the game.

They are sadly in meters only : (I've made the conversion to feet; 3.3 ft = 1 meter)

This is just the value guaranteed by the dock not the actual crush depth !

S-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 60 m -> 198 feet
Porpoise-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 75 m -> 247 feet
Salmon-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 75 m -> 247 feet
Sargo-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 75 m -> 247 feet
Tambor-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 75 m -> 247 feet
Gar-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 75 m -> 247 feet
Gato-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 90 m -> 297 feet
Balao-Klasse - Testtauchtiefe: 120 m -> 396 feet

I'm at work at the moment so I can't spend a lot of time of this but can someone check if these test depths are accurate?

Tambor and Gar are both T-class submarines and their operational maximum depth is 90m (297 ft) according to submarine literature. The Balao 95m, the GATO 120m.

Just took my Gato class to 300 feet evading Escorts during a convoy attack, no problems. Ship and crew survived undamaged.

John Doe’s first command (Tambor-class) got squished at 90 m. of depth after torpedoing a BB.

Just found these WIKI pages:

Funny thing is that the Gar class is not listed... I have to do some more research. Weird, according to
WIKI the SS Gar was a Tambor class, I wonder why it was modelled as a separate class in SH4.

I tried my Salomon class depth.
Took it to 325ft. No problemo!
