Hi Lurker,
In my current patrol, I was near the English west coast, 1939, type II B (latest OM & hotfix) and somehow I got caught on the surface and unprepared by a Norwegian vessel which I thought should be neutral. Well, it wasn't.
It raked me with machine gun fire and destroyed a number of things on the conning tower, but in the process is also killed half of my CT crew. The weird thing is that it also killed people from the other CT shifts, which were not on duty. Is this normal behavior for the game? Inactive watches shouldn't be affected by damage to CT, I think, unless the game still sees them as present in the CT.
