Subs need 4th depth

[DevilD0g]

Played the u69 a year ago and it was handling quite well, in this new version it was handling like a pregnant whale with delusions of being a porpoise underwater compared to last time i used the u69.

it needs different depth settings,   5 - 15 - 30 - 40   added depth 15 m for an attack depth with the periscope down but still close to the surface.

Subs need thier own game mode.

Although this isn't a simulator, I can't see a purpose to this. Although I hate the phrase, "in real life" these subs could only attack on the surface or at periscope depth. Anything deeper was essentially to avoid detection. I've enjoyed the subs so far, but I don't believe they should be able to target and torpedo ships from underwater.

I don't understand what you mean. As they are subs have multiple depth levels, with 4 significant depths affecting functionality: surface, periscope, operating depth and max depth. What's your point?

Better idea, can we get crush depth added to the game. That way a sub that dives too deep gets crushed like a empty beer can and sent back to port. Also, can we get subs patched so the ballast tanks and diving fins not work right so that any sub that dives will wind up at crush depth in short order.

I very much agree, and the "depth indicator" is very unclear (to me)

Yes make a depth impossible to reach by depth charges 

[HyperFish]

Am I also alone in not being able to clearly see whether torps are in front of or behind a target when I'm underwater?

I took at shot at a bb at periscope depth then dived when spotted. I was pinging it, had a green lock, the torps looked on target, then looked like they went through the ship.

The higher tier had more didn't they?  More depth options

the problem with testing subs in co-op is that there arent enough ships generated in co-op to support good testing.. Why?  because the skimmer ships take out all of the main targets with their over reach naval guns  before you even get to them with torpedoes without risking your self a great deal and then you are left  with crap to try and sink.  kongos with a range of 21k etc. Damage for subs in co-op is less than 10k ive found, unless  your team is a bunch of couch potatoes.  Hardly a good test bed
