How deep have you gone?

SmokinTep · 11-13-07, 07:12 AM

Well over 240 meters..........

Only 100 meters so far, haven't been in deep enough waters to really go deep lately, still patrolling off Ireland.

Did collide with something (probably an uncharted sea mount) in the Firth of Clyde whilst trying to sneak into the base there, unfortunately it destroyed my forward torpedo tubes and got me stuck on the bottom at 15 odd meters for an hour or so while I had to get the flooding under control.

As if that wasn't lucky enough, after I aborted the run into the Clyde, I was spotted on the surface by an aircraft which attacked me (no damage) but then called in a Destroyer which merrily dropped a happy string of DCs directly across my foredeck.

Thought about poor U-35 and Alfrons Elric last night and decided not to go DID as usual and try again, otherwise I'll never get past the start of 1940

I'm still quite new to this sim so I want to get the hang of things.

I hit 503 metres by accident when i interupted a crash dive and didnt notice i was sinking slowly.
At 503m my boat dissapeared, could still see inside but had no control over anything...

Im using NYGM 2.2, it has a terrible pressure damage model, my hull integrity% was still high 90s!

In game, I've been to around 280m in a XXI in 1944. I think that's abot the deepest I've pushed a command so far.

In real life - about 3300m in the DSV Alvin (actually, just checked, officially 3511m max depth on any of my dives)

That's a little deeper than the 20 feet depth I've made while snorkelling :hmm:...

Lible · 11-13-07, 09:46 AM

389 meters in a XXI. I was

when I got up.

"which in practice meant that in an emergency they could go down to 300 meters without harm"

That's the VIIC/41, right? I've never got it that deep.. while being alive. /me is off to do some research.

Alvin? the Alvin who is diving to the Titanic and Bismark Alvin, Alvin?

To Topic: Im not sure, but I think 280 or 290 with a VIIC/41 or 42 in a SP Mission but stock SH3... shortly after release...

STEED · 11-13-07, 10:02 AM

I always put it in the red from 42 on wards.

If we live to tell the story I come up fast the smell is dreadful from all those soiled pants.

Kipparikalle · 11-13-07, 10:11 AM

157m, what a nasty surprise when I looked to depth meter.
This happened with IXC type.

Yeah, that Alvin (I used to do hydrothermal vent biology research, in the Pacific and Mid Atlantic Ridge - back when the mother ship was the RV Atlantis II). Alvin is cert'd by the Navy for 4,500m max. operating depth (her sphere is a high purity titanium alloy, about 2" thick
