I did a crash dive & got to 265, with it still diving... NOT knowing just where (As well as when... started getting nervous.. ) it was going to stop diving, I gave orders to go to peri depth.

Know that test depth, for the Balao's is rated for 400, but the Tang, was known to have passed that, even with flooding from a damaged 'bow' (I think it was... do recall it was a torp tube, at any rate..) tube, all while doing so, to evade a destroyer. By exactly how much past 400, not sure... will have to see of doing some digging to find out if there is still available info on that. Ain't history grand...

M. M.

pre-set crash depth (ctrl+d) is 90 meters which seems rather deep. 90 m is 295 feet.
crush depth is 250 m or 820 feet.
test depth is set to 1000 meters which is wrong any way you figure. probably a typo.

crush depth is the key. that is the point at which you start to incur damage.
test depth is only a line on the depth meter.

make a copy of Balao.cfg and change these to whatever floats your boat (please forgive the hyperbole).
MaxDepth is test depth.
CrashDepth is CRUSH depth
CrashDepth=90;meters
MaxDepth=1000;meters
