Submarine maximum depths before implosion - 31 August 2018

[Nurple]

I tested each playable submarine to its maximum depth, as follows are the results.
I have also put a number to the right of each boat indicating its ability over the other boats, with 1 being the deepest diving boat and 12 being the most shallow diving boat.

***US Boats***

• SEA WOLF - 2,550ft IMPLOSION *2*
  
  
• LOS ANGELES FLT 3- 1,554ft IMPLOSION *8*
  
  
• LOS ANGELES FLT 2 - 1,510ft IMPLOSION *10*
  
  
• LOS ANGELES - 1,520ft IMPLOSION *9*
  
  
• NARWHAL- 2,080ft IMPLOSION *4*
  
  
• STURGEON - 2,210ft IMPLOSION *3*
  
  
• PERMIT - 1,980ft IMPLOSION *5*
  
  
• SKIPJACK - 1,080ft IMPLOSION *12*

***RUSSIAN Boats***

• ALFA - 3,250ft IMPLOSION *1*
  
  
• CHARLIE I - 1,920ft IMPLOSION *6*
  
  
• NOVEMBER - 1,630ft IMPLOSION *7*

***CHINESE Boats***

• HAN - 1,120 ft IMPLOSION *11*

Unfortunately it’ll always be random!

Crush depth is always 1.5 to 1.75 times the test depth (this assumes the hull is at 100%, lower hull integrity and the crush depth maybe shallower) The exact crush depth is randomized when your sub is assigned. However you’re ALWAYS safe going down to 1.5 times a subs test depth (being that’s the minimum any sub in-game will implode from water pressure!)

For example: the Skipjacks test depth is 700 ft. This means it’s minimum crush depth, with 100% hull Integrity, is 1050 feet. You will ALWAYS be able to take it down to 1050 (or maybe 1049) ft. without imploding! Sometimes it may crush at 1075 ft, mine once imploded at 1250 ft. but it’s random!

For safety reasons I always give myself a 100 ft. safety margin but I will often, without hesitation, take my skipjack down to 950 ft. and never suffered any ill effects!
