Hi all, im running SH3 with the GXX 1.03 mod. I was wondering if there is a mod which will allow me to dive deeper to escape those pesky destroyers that hang over your head for what seems like weeks. If anyone can direct me to somwhere where i can get this mod i'd be gratefull

thanks for the quick reply m8y, Im not sure what the depth gauge mod is tbh, im looking for a mod which will allow my boat to dive much deeper than it does allready.

How deep do you want to go?

You can loose any persuer by dropping below +200m and 1kt. If that doesn't work, go deeper but go slowly.

If you are using SH3Cmdr, it models thermal layers. These will help but are totally random in their depth.

Im looking to go to about 300m depth, usually my boat starts to get damaged past say 270, so 300m would be good. Also im not that good at escaping destroyers

i just had a nightmare patrol, got into a convoy, then all of a sudden a destroyer was on me, dropping the bad stuff so i dived to try to escape. Long story cut short i ended up with 3 destroyers hanging over me and my aft batteries destroyed and a stupid leak that i couldnt fix. My demise was long and slow.

LMAO - As it should be.:rotfl:

In GWX, it is rare to be able to stay near PD while attacking a convoy. General rule is shoot and get deep. Then rinse & repeat.

Try perfecting your approach to the convoy. If you get this bit right, it's entirley possible to attack and withdraw without the escorts even getting a sniff of you.

I never tried to dive so deep but isn't it possible without the 400m gauge ?
If you set the depth for 260m wait 'til you're there and then hit [D](ive), wouldn't that bring you any deeper ? And the current depth should be displayed in the ligital digital field which is right next to the depth gauge.
Or at least your L.I. will call it out to you.
