I changed the max depth so as to be able to go deeper. The test depth for the Jyunsen B is 100 m, but it's a safety margin, some I boat captains were comfortable with going down to 1.5 times that depth (read it someplace), so I set my max depth to 150 m or 450 feet.

hope that helps,

Keltos

ps the crush depth is randomly selected with the max depth as a factor : max depth x bad luck X dammaged or not boat or something

I dont think so...The green depth is just for GUI's depth gauge critical depth mark, red line or something. In order to edit submarine crush depth you have to edit sub's .zon file using Goblin or S3d editor...
EDIT:Just saw the date of posting...

Hm, start German campaign?

Seriously, during the WWII german U-boats had much shorter diving times than american counterparts ...

To edit diving times and rates you have to edit ballast tanks values in submarine .sim file...

I've managed it with the S3D tool, it worked out fine and opened many "doors" for me, thx!

My general aim is a Jyunsen B exchange for the type 18 in the german campaign with nearly simular poperies of the regular subs, but I cant find a standalnoe Jyunsen-mod.

How can I savely extract her from the big mod in order to perform a proper exchange?
