So i underestimated the convoy ship lookouts yesterday and got lit up by a dozen or so merchants in the midle of a 24 ship convoy in early to mid 1940 in my Type VIIB. I ordered a crash dive but it was to late, a shell obliterated the sonar room, and as the boat went deeper, i ordered to emergency surface to stop the sinking, but to no use.

So there i was, in my Iron Coffin, falling towards the bottom of the ocean... 250 went by, 300, 310, 320, 330, and somewhere between 340 and 350 the hull finally gave in and imploded. I got the death screen as i got past 500m i think...

This got me wondering, at what point can your sub get crushed? I know there is a certain depth after wich an undamaged submarine will get crushed at a random point... So what is that depth in the different uboat models?
