Depth control problems.

250?!

Are you nuts. This ain't just too deep; this is already the backyard of Hell!:rotfl:

Judging form your description, i too assume the changed buoyancy because of the acute depth.

Don't go this deep! There was a good reason why the people from "Das Boot" freaked at 200m already!:hmm:

A shovel full of sand!
The gods left a shovel full of sand to keep us up!

Did the pressing D instead of S on TC myself the other night
learned my lesson

if you read the later chapters of my U-2 War Journal you'll see my boat slowly dropping down on several occasions

anyway, it's believed that if you do a crash dive and don't let her settle at the target depth, you mess up the trim. so if you crash dive and order her to 40 meters and 1/3 speed halfway through, you'll have continuous trouble keeping her level

added to that, i've been sinking slowly after taking some damage and even for no reasons at all. 250 meters is a place where you only go for a short while in serious situations, if you even go there at all, lol. and keep time compression down, specially if the enemy is about

there

Why? I play with randomized crush depths and my boat has never suffered damage ... Usually dive down to 220-250 when evading escorts. The only time it started crushing (other than this depth keeping incident) I had pressed D and was in x1 time but left the computer to roll a joint ... And got back in time just when the CE was starting to say we were taking damage at 290. Since the boat takes damage kinda slowly I just had to climb back to 210 and stopped taking damage at about that depth. I guess real Kaleuns didn't exploit maximum depth that much :P

I agree with Bosje
Have always checked that my depth is stabalised over a set time before upping TC.

..or leave their posts to roll a joint?

Yea I know. They always left port with a stash of pre-rolled ones so that things like this wouldn't happen.
