VIIC/41 Can Dive Deeper Than The XXI!!

Penelope_Grey · 05-12-07, 04:11 AM

Its true I tested it! At about 290m a full hull integrity XXI started to take damage! Yet I have been right down to 310m in a VIIC/41 and not had any problems!

I have to say I was a bit disapointed.

In RL the XXI was of very poor quality Eg: poorly fitting sections and sub standard welding runs

too bad they never got to finish the VIIC/42
as they mention on the designs

it could cruise around 500 meters

but as it never been build, that number stands only on the drawing table. and stays unproven

For the quality of material they were using the boot was quite something (and don't forget by that time it was forced and unqualified labour as well) - imagine they would have had the resources available when they finally got to built it they had say in '39 -- that submarine would have rocked the world!

more like "rocked the merchants" :rotfl:

Oh right, so it was like they were using materials of the day to build something ahead of its time?

Still doesn't figure how the VIIC/41 can go deeper than XXI can. Though I suppose with the XXI you don't need to. The XXI probably only needs to go to 200m its speed was probably what would have been its chief way of escape.

Are you sure you're not using SH3cmd, if I remember correctly it randomizes the crush depth a bit? Just a thought.:hmm:
