Well in the book "Iron Coffins" it states that the sub, pushed by depth charges reached a depth of 300 meters, without being crushed. But as for the ingame settings I am not sure, I never really tried putting the sub to it's limits.

Martin Middlebrook, the author of Convoy, New York:William Morrow and Company, 1976, based on "unspecified interview" cites 270 meters (885 ft.) as the max. depth obtained by a Type VIIC and 310 meters (1,020 ft.) by a Type IXC.

As to the max. depth obtainable in the game I have no idea.

The stock crush depth without mods is too shallow. It is around 200 meters and you will take damage at 175+ This seemed to force the player to rely on one of the broken passive skills. Modded extends this to roughly 240 meters with some variations, depending on your mod, which is around what the calculations indicate. Historically, no one really knew and it varied wildly per individual boat. The U-boats that survived extreme dives reported ~275-300 meters.

What specific MODs, Schwartzritter, would extend the max. depth to more than the stock SH5?

there was a mod in SHIII where you could set the max depth or randomize it after the max depth was reached ...

TheDarkWraith's UI mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093 has several fixes, especially the depth keeping bug fix. ddrgn's U-boat Historical Specifications mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1775 directly addresses this issue and throws in some more realism for good measure (read: learn to hate bad weather
