Default Is it random crash deph mod result?

Hi all.
I've started new campain with GWX and SHCommander3. My sub is VIIB. The problem is that if I order crash dive, on the level about 80 meters sub starts to take damages. I could hardly get to the surface. But is was still in green area. Before I remember going much lover.
Any one had the same "problem"?
Thanks.

Is the water deep enough?? if hit the bottom it can do damage too. Also, when your hull integrety is low you can't dive as deep. If it's deep enough and you have no damage then 80 meters couldn't be correct as building yard guaranteed a save diving depht of 90meters.

The water was deep.

But are you using SH3 Commander? It randomizes the crush depths. That's what he's asking about.

@ Piter_: I don't think the randomizer makes that big of a difference, unless you've taken damage. On the other hand, Commander also takes random Malufunctions and Sabotage into account. I don't know if those settings affect crush depth. Do you have either one of them checked?

Yeh, I have checked both of them.

I could not believe it too when my VIIC/41 was finally destroyed at 500 meters (crash dive)!
I don't have a clue guys. Still it won't dive deeper than 120 meters if the hull is damaged by 55%. There is an obvious hull damage dependence of the Uboat's max depth but as i said, no clue for the extreme depth capability. (No SH3 Commander user)

I would guess that that's the problem. I checked malfunctions, but not sabotage. I don't know if that makes any difference at all, though.

@ Tomfon: Yeah, damage will do that to you. I would be afraid to go below periscope depth with 55%.

Why not? You're missing out on the very best part of the game.
