Depth keeping below 180m

Hoster · 09-03-12, 01:10 PM

Hello,
I know that there was a lot of talking about the depth keeping problem in SH5, but as far as I noticed it, there`s nothing about the depth keeping below 170m. To the point: When I`m diving below aproximately 180m, the depth is only stable at 3 or 4 knots. So in silent running, the boat starts to dive until crash depth is reached. Until now it makes no sense to me to dive below 170m because I have to leave silent running to stabilize the boat - but the destroyers than have a easy task to locate my position. Is there a mod available, where it is possible to dive for example to 200m with a depth stabilized submarine at 1 or 2 knots?
Thanks for help!

Thanks,
but I`m already using the mod you mentioned. They keep the depth up to 170m, but not below.

Only reason for this that I can think of...

Below 170m, leaks begin to overwhelm pumps. If boat does not maintain enough speed, it will begin to sink. The deeper you go, the faster it seems to sink or slip away.

Does this sound logical?

It seems, that nobody else but me is facing that problem mentioned above. Well the sub is in perfect condition with no leakings at all, but I can only hold depth below 180m at 3 or more knots. I thought it is a bug concerning everybody...
