The cause is: Pressure

So, no enemy ships in sight (visual and sonic) and no bombs, and my uboat goes kaputt in a depth of 14 meters.

What the hell just happened?

Are you use stock SH3? Or have u other super mods?

Have you SH3 Commander? If so there are option to increased damage effect, so this could "maybe" be a answer to the damage you suffer,or have you hit a mine!? to sink slowly....

Don't think so, if i have i haven't used it yet. A mine could be possible, never hit one before and didn't have much time to look around the sub in Godeye-mode.

There was a bang though, but i was watching the merchant ship sink when the sub was beginning to take damage, and the bang noise could be from one of the sinking ships, can't really differentiate where the explosion sound came from.
Are there any mines in the midnorthern part of grid BF17 year 1939?

Have had that happen in the North Sea, but I wandered into a minefield.
Never have I run into mines in BF 17 or anywhere on the West side of England before in 1939-41.
Always a good place to hunt.
Did you get too close to the merchants when they exploded. I lost part of my gun crew once due to this.

under water level the sound go fast,so the first bang or noise your ears found,could be so, a mine...so I hope this was early in your mission so you can start again,or go back to last saved game post..

my guess... depending on year would be an aircraft sighted your submerged submarine and bombed it.

especially if you had your periscope up and were only at periscope depth.

I've had boats crush on me realy shalow, 37 m is the shalowest I recall, and that was only the one time. I only had one depth charg hit and was kind of confused. At 17 m, and given your posisition and date, chances are good that you were bombed.
