Crush Depth Struggles!!

So far I am finding SH4 very enjoyable but am having problems when evading escorts and going deep. I have installed the Crush Depth Mod and I am still having major problems with the sub below 100m, even with no damage. It makes evading escorts and stuff pretty much a drag. Once I am past that depth the sub is pretty much toast. Current sub is Gato Class.

Any help would be appreciated.

I do not understand. I go to 250 feet w/o issue or mod installed. How can this be with your submarine and a mod as well:hmm:

Anyone?

I think I will go crawl into a hole, in the in-game settings I choose Metric ( my Canadian Roots ) and not Imperial. So I am guessing via the metres thing I am over 300 feet. That is why I am toast Will check this later.

I think that's it AVG, thanks for the reply, I am off to the subsim hole in the ground now to hide

If you have some damage diving to 50 feet can be a fatal mistake.

I was going to ask you because you said 100m but I thought you were just translating the feet into meters as this is what you are used to doing. As for metric and me, I'm lousy at the metric system. 100 meters to mee is 100 feet. Oh well, one day the entire world might be on the same page for Imperial/metric system.

For the game I think I am going to go with Imperial as per SH3 I have had some good patrols, then bam, toast. Some issues with SH4 are not as much " bugs " but getting used to some of the new stuff. Have a good one

Feet and Metres is the easiest conversation to make, effectively 3:1.

Yeah I was reading as 100 feet, when it was not, it was metres. Dumb mistake

Ah, 3 feet to 1 meter? That is a yard in my book

Yeah eventually the USA will get with the times. :p Gotta love a system where most conversions are divisible by 10.

10 mm = 1 cm, 100 cm = 1m, 1000m = 1km

We like a challenge having to learn both. Besides, the navies of the world seem to be hard pressed to get rid of Imperial too .. using Knots and all.

It'll all be over when our boats are doing km/h instead of knots. The old traditional measurements will be dead.
