Well going by what i can remeber this is what i had to do to change the crush depth:

Going by the Nuke subs (will be the same for ww2 subs just different names)

Download S3D (Silent 3ditor v0.9.4) found here: http://sh4.skwas.net/

With S3D open up the Zon file:

C:\Program files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacfic\Mods\Los Angeles\Data\Submarine\NSS_688i\NSS_688i.ZON

(WW2 subs would be similar: C:\Program files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacfic\Data\Submarine\Gato\Gato.ZON <-- thats just a rough guess)

Once the file is opened, go down to "Collisionable Object" click on the arrow on the left to choose 'collisionable object' again then on your right you will see some names - CrushDepth, Hit points, Armor levels etc. In the Crushdepth the default was as far as i can remeber - 120. 120 is not 120 in depth you times it by 2 or something where it works out 120 = 450feet etc., I changed 120 to 620 then saved file.

With 620 the nuke sub was tested at approx 1100metres and still going i never went further deep cause 1100 is pretty much pitch black down there with depth charges not even coming close to your sub.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Even better i found the original post by 'andycaccia' from this thread on page 7:

This is due to the fact the .zon file of the 688I has a crush depth of 400-450'.
You can change this simply by opening the .zon file ( /data/submarine/NSS_688i/NSS_688i.zon) with s3d and go under CollisionableObject, then Properties. Hare you'll find the CrashDepth. The value you see there is not expressed in feet or meters, but it is near the crash depth in meters X1.4

i.e a crush depth of 100 meters (325') will have a value of 140. So make your calculations and modifications accoridingly.

And another good tip by poster 'Rene' on page 13 For those wanting to play the Red October in Campaign:

To play in campaign transfer the campaign files from the november class to redoctober. it works. i did it and i play now the redoctober in campaign
