What has hit me? - Page 2

well I checked the mission editor and of all the mine fields I checked none went deeper than 50 metres. So at 60 metres you should have been safe.

So it's definitely godzilla/nessie!

MJ was buried at sea?

I have a feeling that this is a bug with TC. When I was new to SH III I had the same problem a couple of times. All cases had one thing in common: High TC.

Since I read somewhere that high TC is somewhat cheating because of the lower chance to be spotted by aircraft I started to play with a max of 128 at day and 256 at night (no planes around at 1940

). It had been foggy for weeks and I spend most of the time at 60m to listen around. I've been travelling the waters submerged at 60m for days at 256 (with breaks for resupplying with oxygen and recharging the batteries of course) without incident and it wasn't until I went up to 512 that something happened.

Are you sure about that? I mean I have heard this before but It does not seem correct because I have taken many of readings while sailing, cruising along and have had the "Depth under keel" fluctuate up and down many times.
In fact around BF 55 51 I have had "depth under keel" read in this order while heading West..80 120 80 in that order one reading after the other. Not the exact readings but you get my point. I would have thought in that area the reading would have went from a shallower reading to a deeper reading and stay deeper as you head west. But it was not the case. There are place were there seems to be a rise in the floor bottom.

huummm

I once had a reading of 180ft 150 ft 40ft 180ft in sh4.

SH III is not SH IV.

Yes, the depth changes but not so abruptly as that you can run against a upright seabed wall and sink then another 60m before you hit the flat bottom.
