I believe the later model type IXs can even peg/exceed the dial.

Last night I did a single mission with a type VIIC and just hit 'D' at 4kts and waited to see when she collapsed. I thought it was a glitch or something because she just kept going down, down, down, down..... 200, 230, 260, 280, 300with no seriour damage! The gauges shattered and the lights flickered at some point in the high 200s, but the the end didn't come until 330m!

In career mode I would never have even tried to go near that depth.
