Determining Sea Floor Bottom?

World_Devastator · 06-10-14, 10:59 AM

In SH5 as we know it isn't like SH3/4 as you can actually see your boat bottom on the sea floor, my question is what are the veterans method to determine how far away from the actual sea floor you are? Last night while chatting we Defiance I was at a depth of 117m and my depth to keel said I had 14m to bottom but I bottomed out at 118m how do I not do this again? (I just want to iterate I am not going by visuals just depth of keel)

My guessing is just give myself 20m cushion...

Thanks bud, I actaully saw this post this morning and was reading it. Maybe my Depth to Keel was off last night because I was already sitting on the bottom and it gave the reading a wrong value...

Not going to lie I got to play last night for a couple of hours late in the night and the Sea Floor Bottom thing really ruins the game for me, even with all the mods & eye candy its just something I cant get over. I am still trying to push thru but really that's a huge deal breaker for me, It will say Depth to bottom 56m then Max Dive Depth is 50m I can go to 45m and it will bottom out causing damage to Sub. It made me so mad I went back to my SH4 career, even though I want to play SH5 100% more since It looks so great
