wikipedia has the VIIB and VIIA listed as crushing at 230-250 M the VIIC at 250-295 M and the VIIC/41 at 275-325 M

Right I see where your reading this on the wiki, the boat was safe until 250m. I guess they assumed it would crush between 250-295...

The boat with this mod will start to crush at 250m, so fits in well with the wiki info.

Same goes for the other boats, safe depth being 200m on the gauge, anything after that would be pure speculation.

I think the record recorded (and returned from) was 230m approximately. Not sure which boat, it was talked about some in another thread I can not seem to find atm.

QUICK EDIT: Thinking the VIIC/41 could go 325m is madness, not sure where wiki got those facts from. To think a crew in 1943 would be brave enough to attempt this is madness in itself.
