P-Funk, only about 120 meters? Well considering test depth was 410 ft and it was 25 years after it was built, I would have liked you to be there when it happened. It wouldn't have only been 120 meters to you when your a-s was down there....

i bet it would be scarry. its scary enuf to go with a VIIB to 350m in the game

HM.Medico · 04-27-07, 10:17 PM

Took my VIIB to 260 meters.

Hull began buckling so I ordered an immediate blow ballast

Didn't set in until about 280 meters and in the end I had about 25% intergrity and a lot of brown pants, and I don't mean that of the PO's

Went back to Willemshaven and vowed to never _ever_ be so careless with test dives again

Oh I know that I liley would have shat myself.

But its just a little bit of competitive jousting.

Does the position of the crew really effect U-boat physics? Is this in the stock game or a GWX tweak? :hmm:

This point has been discussed/debated many times and as yet no definitive answer has arisen. Personally, I don't think the positioning of the crew has any bearing at all

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 05-03-07, 05:38 AM

i second it

WOW!

I didn't know there were any still operational! I've virtually been on one in a game, but never personally.

Can you get me a ride?:rotfl:

Reminds me of a scene from the movie U-571, when the Special Ops agent asks the Captain how deep the U.S. sub will go:

"All the way to the bottom if we don't stop her".

I'm fairly certain that it does. I'll run some tests on it later, but I'm certain that crew position matters.

Mind...it has been timed using a stopwatch
