Crush depth - Page 3

One things for certain

I've never made it to 500metres without getting crushed ...nowhere near in fact

Thanx, I didn´t know that. I´m sure GWX will fix it, though (LOL)

Nah :rotfl:
If the correct depth was on the cfg you would know how deep to go

This way leaves you guessing
Of course damage would limit whatever the actual figure is anyway

Uncertainty
:rotfl:

Sure, guessing how deep I can go is what I always do. Usually I pick a crew member and ask him: "Guess how deep we can go". He answers: I guess 284,2m, approximately. Then we try. If we die, he has lost the game. Just a little game we play to kill the time while being depth charged. :rotfl:

Sure ? I am not user of GW, i was not in know of that, it is very strange the guys of GW Team take that value. :hmm:

Correct, i was sure the guys of GW Team was not able to do that, all they sure was into the old crush depth discusions.

The 500m into the .cfg file is the depth up to wich one the game modelates the moviles, as sinking ships and sinking subs, but this value is not the crush depth, it is the depth at wich the 3D models disapears

Looks like there is a workaround for the dreaded crash dive bug. You just have to make the weather calmer when you reload. See this thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=101482

Just in case someone finds this thread in a future search, I figured I'd elaborate on this a bit. I believe the "crash dive bug" refers to the inability of the uboat to keep an even keel after interrupting a crash dive, causing problems with depth keeping. See this thread for a better explanation.

The quoted link is a potential fix (I haven't been able to replicate the bug yet, so I can't verify the fix works) for the "I just loaded my game, and my uboat sinks to the bottom of the ocean like a lead-filled cinder block" bug.

Thanks for your research on this ....

According to the manuals the max depth of a VII is 225m, but I thought it could dive even deeper.

Don't think any kaleun ever came back to report the true depth
