I'm not able to look at that file right now but I believe at the top it explains how to change things, what various numbers mean, etc.
I'm thinking 0.9 is a percentile rating but would have to look to be sure.

I was pointing other thing. Hull integrity reduce (possible lineal) the crush deep. In the game hull integrity is reduced by hit ( gun, depth charge, Collision) but there's no stress for going in unsafe depths, crash dive (is a shock of stress diverged of a show sumerge).
This kind of addition in-game world be very valuable.
The idea is trim and make player reluctance to go deep.

What do you consider wrong with the "Abandon boat" feature ?

I don't recommend get actived. When you need it s needed save active reload and use it. I had some sub destroyed by accident, as the manual say, you cannot revert.

Ah, so you just clicked on the wrong button ? Use the "m" key and then send the message from that screen if needed.
It works well, I've always enabled it though it requires sending a radio message on the surface and then crash diving, which can be problematic when there are escorts nearby and they sink you before you can send the message and crash dive.

But then the SH3 Commander surrender function covers that.

Just got a strange thing in my current career:
3rd September 40 at bunker Kiel, when clicking for next patrol was said your base changed for St Nazaire ... ok, but my BDU orders are still starting Kiel, and return to Kiel
I think i was supposed to start from St Naz ... how come?
(I’m in 7th Flotilla)
Is it because i have applied the Stiebler patch while in bunker? ... and not at career start?

ÉDIT: I’m now 23 sept 40, and received a radio message as a new base is available at St Nazaire!
Well, I’ll see next mission if I’m teleported to St Naz...but should be!

The Stiebler patch doesn't have anything that would change flotillas, etc. I've never done anything from Kiel so not sure what's going on there, sorry.

Good hunting,
