Handling heavy damage in your sub (TWoS)

[XenonSurf]

Bstanko6, Captain AJ,

thank you for your insights !

I must admit and accept that there are mistakes not to do in SH5 in order not to lose your boat, yes. One of it is not being gunned on the surface by destroyers (I mis-judged their visual range capability at night once again...)

I will have to play some single missions to get better in handling these diveplanes and understand their relation with speed, compressed air usage etc.
And there is a single mission against 1 Liberty Cargo that is armed, so I can let it damage me, then dive and see if I can recover
Surely not the most enjoyable way to play SH5, but this 'training' should be instructive to show what's possible or not.

I wonder: If I chose standard speed on my dial (4 knots underwater), and I command only a slightly higher depth with my dial, then NO compressed air will be used? If my speed is too slow, then compressed air must be used to bring my sub to surface, right?

Thank you!
