Oh......

should probably stop doing that then.

The thing is, your LI wants to level off the dive at whatever depth the two of you agreed on for whenever the ALAAAAAARM!!! is sounded. (This would be the default depth for a crash dive, 70 meters in GWX unless the relevant file's been edited.)

He really, really, REALLY wants to level off at that depth. This is the one routine that he just can't seem to adjust and adapt on demand.

So there he is, all set to level off at the agreed upon depth, and there you go upsetting his routine by ordering a whole different depth right in the middle of it. It ticks him off, and much muttering and grumbling ensues regarding the verdammt idiot n00b kaleun who can't make up his mind, fine, he wants to go deeper, I'll show him deeper, we'll see how he likes them apples...

BTW if anyone wants to practice uncontrolled diving learn from me. Here's a small tip. Set you're time compression to 1024 or above, get bored, go make a tea. This might not work every time but in my case the uncontrolled dive from those shell hits was quite good and fast, only "wahnsinnige fahrt voraus" somehow kept my boat long enough not to hit the sea bottom, which I hit anyway but that's my incompetence. Oh and a small tip, if by trying this you're boats frontal part (the tip with the net-cutter) gets above water ships don't really see or attack you with shells, unlike when they see periscopes, they think it's a whale of some sort.
