I have never once spontaniously imploded, always the hull integrity steadily droped down to 0%.

I've had the insta-crunch many a time, but I think it was under NYGM - I've yet to have a really serious DCing under GWX. But in the old days it would happen all too often - I'd usually be really deep - like 160 or so, and would get hit by a DC or a hedgehog. I'd get the light's flashing glass breaking, the 'Man down on deck!', and before I could go to the damage control screen, i'd have the screen o death. I'm begging for a slow leak/uncontrolled dive that takes me down to >300. That brings back another yarn - back in the stock game (like years ago) I crash-dove my VIIB and got a spread of bombs across the back. We went into an uncontrolled high speed dive - like - the added weight had us going like 9 or 10kts down! Before I realized wtf was going on, I was passing 200m. It started in the bow room - dead sailors, then it quickly spread....it was wicked.
