GWX: Depths of 200+

Ducimus · 01-26-07, 01:00 PM

Im gonna drop a little spoiler here. You have free range of motion on your depth meter.

With the exception of the type 2's, and 7b The only way your going to lose hull integrity from the pressure (assuming your boat is undamaged) is if you:

a.) Put dive planes at normal dive when the depth meter is pegged
b.) suffer a fair amount of flooding that puts the boat off the depth meter scale.

In other words, he type 7c, 9b, 9c, and 9d can call go a little bit deeper then what the depth meter says, but not by much.

But that is the fun part Ducimas...you just do not know when she will implode!!!! That last creaking noise might be your last

i went ti 210m last night in my VIIC to evade some DD`s i got "we are diving too deep sir" so i doubt she would go much further

Greets!

The deepest I have gone was around 185-7 Meters with a slow decline in integrity (hull) which I noticed after a minutes (2% 30 sec x 1% as another forum member mentioned) time. I hear the deepest it can go is 230 Meters; sadly enough...I will never attempt that depth. haha.

One question I have about the IV and the VIIC: Since both of those Sub's have a pretty close max-depth what is the average dive depth that both are comfortable at? 145-180M?

Often do 220-250 metres in a type IX...anything beyond that and your taking a chance

I regulary randomize the Crush depth of the Boot I currently use with "CruchDepth v2". So for me it's always uncertain what depth is gonna crush me!

That way i'm always careful not to be too bold; by going too deep when evading of DC or DD's.

And it'll leave you unsure about going deeper!

Does that have any credit to realism? Or is it just a preference for you?
