in the single missions (GWX) there is at least one with a lot of ice in it.

Is that your sub right in front of her? I'm beginning to think she wasn't sunk by an iceberg

The iceberg thing is a myth and let the truth now be known that it was indeed a German sub that sent her to the bottom.

Ah! Thanks for the wiki link, that makes sense now.... the word "berg" came from the Dutch.

Does anyone know if one can safely dive below them?

It's something I always wondered, but afraid to "seek the truth" about.

Not sure if it's the lame difficulty settings I have in place when I play SH3 (I'm at a whopping 3%

), but I can still use my periscope when submerged below periscope depth. *shrug* Dunno. Do higher difficulty settings cause seal blowouts at depths much greater than periscope depth (as in DW)?

If not, then by all means raise that periscope when you dive to the great dark depths of the sea and observe the icebergs as you majestically careen off of their underwater projections (or not... you most probably are a much better skipper than I).

On a sidenote, I love DW's High Frequency sonar at the 'scope.

Of course you can. Just try it...........Just remember, there is much more ice under the water than above. Being from the North you would know that, wouldn't you.....?

Ja, unfortunately.
Just had to ask because hitting one while submerged has unpleasantly crossed my mind.
This time I was kind-of hoping SH3 messed up.
But no, I'm not brave enough to try it deliberately.
