Below 200. She can barely make 100-150 feet before you get squeezed like an egg.

well the 200 ft is for a boat in undamaged condition so yes if you get minor damage i wouldnt push passed 125-150 but thats pretty close to how it was in real life, diving below 150 ft was a very risky thing because of how old and worn out the boats were with rusty weakened hulls

you have to remember these boats were 20 yrs old at the time of the war and actually scheduled for scrap yrds but war meant they had to make due with whatever they had so a boat that many considered to be a certain death trap is still a boat that helps the war effort

Makes my wonder if there crews were ashamed to serve those Busted hulks or Proud of there hindered boats.

No doubt they were at least scared of them.

Im proud of the crazy things i accomplish in them.
