Maximum Depth Reached?

martin1004 · 03-28-10, 09:47 AM

In a type VII/41 I have gone about 290 meters deep without taking any water several times. When in a career with type VIIB I stick to a rule that I never let it past 235 meters. Maybe it could take a bit more but I don't want to lose my career for trying that.
I've gone down to 390 meters in stock SH3 with a type VIIC

. It was more like a bug but it didn't crush for quite a while even as deep as that. And if I remember right type XXI started taking water near 400 meters.

Went to 161m then went back up when my CE warned me I was going too deep.

You can go quite alot deeper than that, I took a VIIB down to 310 to dodge a depth charge attack before going back up to 180
Don't get me wrong though it's not all smiles and sunshine when going that deep, your hull makes horrible noises, your men tell you your going to deep, guages burst, lights flicker, and all that nasty stuff
