a question on VII depths

In GWX, you do get cues with pronounced creak, groans, and popping of the pressure hull as you go deeper. The louder and more frequent they become, the more stress on your boat.
Once you start to hear the squeal and whine of metal, you're definitely in the danger zone. A u-boat can only tolerate such depth for a while before the hull begins to fail.
By the time you hear bolts and fittings bursting along with the tinkle of glass gauge covers shattering, you have only seconds to react and raise your depth by at least 20 meters or it's straight to the bottom you go!
