that does indeed seem to be the case!
(I had the forethought to save a lot of images from that event)
the below image is the statcard from the battle of the atlantic even several years ago

Oh the hydrophone works for him and the new ocean floor map. I guess you can make it work somehow. I wonder what is the mission.
Yeah probably because they don’t make any noise. The HUD works form me as well, It detects my torps sound.
just did a little bit of a test run to find the crush depth of the Type 7
depth warning started appearing at 250m
First bits of damage started appearing at 270
Submarine imploded at 285
Oh, and it took 18 and a half minutes (in arcade!) to reach that crush depth at flank ahead and set depth of 300
Redoing the test in RB results in the same things happening at the same depth, but it taking a total of 38 and a half minutes to reach 285m depth.

I wonder if taking flooding makes sinking to the depths easier.
Just a random thought, I have no idea how to actually test such a thing.
Thank you for the testing AND pictures!

I believe those depths are accurate
In the type VII if you go down to 5 m you can be completely submerge and still go full speed lol. It’s jank I’m sure it’ll be fixed.
that was actually a thing during the battle of the atlantic event too. Can’t use the Hydro or Periscope then I believe. you should also be targetable by surface vessels at that depth.

Any news on how these will be implemented in test drive? Both for practicing with any tech tree subs but also countering them with surface vessels.
In this case, you can’t use the hydrophone, but you can use the periscope and if the sea is completely calm, you’re completely under
Looks to be USS Tang (SS-563) interestingly the previous boat to have the name USS Tang (SS-306) is still on patrol (She is on Eternal Patrol). WW2 never ended for her by the definition.
Its good we are getting early cold war subs for a while they were just jacked WW2 subs so they are what they are gameplay wise nothing spicy.
Hopefully if your a bad enough player or just unlucky a sinking ship sinking on your sub should bring you to the bottom of davy jones locker and not just bounce off or something.

Me on day one of submarine release on test drive…

So I managed to get the mission with the sub, but I seem to have no controls bound for any of the functions
The adjusting depth using Q/E is really sensitive. I hope they’ll be some controls to fine-tune it.

which sub? because the USS Tang doesn’t do much, seems to be very WIP.
the type 7 should work pretty well.
Is this confirmed? And how early into the cold war?
I ask as a Brit because we have no Type XXI equivalents that aren’t just captured Type XXI’s. But the Amphion’s including refits and Super T’s will have to do.
Otherwise we top out at Amphion and regular T class… which aren’t great.
(Porpoises and Oberons would be a bit better)
I also wonder how they will implement acoustic deafening of the sonar arrays, which would be the main disadvantage for the ultimate WW2 subs the Type XXI’s
USS Tang (SS-563) is cold war (1950s)
