Type XXI diving

Sandman_28054 · 08-30-11, 04:05 PM

On the Military Channel, the Type VII is the top submarine of all time.

I know many here have an attachment to this boat.

However, I like to upgrade whenever new models become available.

I have upgraded to the type XXI and had 4 missions thus far.

My base at Bergen was just disbanded and now I'm at Tronhiem.

On the last patrol, I came across a convoy in Grid AM72.

I sank an Intermediate Tanker, a Large Tanker, two Whale ships, a destroyer, and a frigate.

While trying to escape, I dove to 176 meters and ordered Silent running.

No matter what I tried, a destroyer always found me.

Tried attacking this convoy twice. (Saved before contact, and re-loaded)

Question: For those of you who are brave and have the Type XXI, what is the maximum depth you can dive to?

This last run, I dove to 196 meters.

212 was the farthest i was willing to go i heard crinks and cranks and went back up to operational depth they still sunk me. 1945 is a miserable time in GWX destroyers ASDIC is so good and the hedgehog is a major pain in the butt

If your using SH3 Commander the crush depths are normally varied but if not she should manage somewhere in the region of 250 metres.

The escorts have usually reached 'elite' status by 1945 so you correct in stating how tough it is....as it was in RL then.

I know the GWX manual says 210 meters, but I can press it on to 250, is that right?
