Weird

because the destruction depth of the XXI submarine was around 330 meters.

The data file actually states 500 metres burt I wouldn't advise it.

Yes, its a bad idea.
But you can change submarine parameters but its not historically then.
But i read that modified version of VIIC/42 can dive at about 500 meters, they use 28mm steel for hull to improve hull strength.
Its that true?

I wouldn't have thought so....their diving depth as designed was about 200 metres and crush depth was estimated at 400 metres.

Problem being nobody ever took one to crush depth and lived to say exactly what it was

Deutsche Werft AG, Hamburg
500 meters is roughly 1640 feet i really doubt they went that deep. Not to mention the /42 never even got the light of day at the four major yards. Deutsche Werft AG, Hamburg, Deutsche Werke AG, Kiel,F Schichau GmbH, Danzig or F. Krupp Germaniawerft AG, Kiel
