How deep can I go with VIIB Boat?

Crush depth is one area where the game kind of takes a break from historical accuracy.

Even moderate damage in SHIII and GWX can have your boat crushed at 160m .... or even less.

In actuality U-boats often went far deeper than the "crush depth" as coded into the game.

Anyone who had read Iron Coffins can attest to this.

Werner speaks multiple times of losing control of the boat (a heavily damaged boat at that) and each time managing to level it off or gain control at 245, 275, 260, 280 meters and so on.
