So there would be no need to apply the 4GB patch after patching the patch of the patch.

As NGT said, I think it's problematic for all people with Win XP 32-bit. So, probably it's not a good idea for many players.

Let's now assume, one depth charge causes a minor and uncritical damage. In sh3, the crew immediately begins repairs. This is dumb in this situation and will rise detection probability and the destroyer now can locate you. In GWX life is hard for a kaleun even in the current state, but this change would make it impossible to escape from this situation. Only idea: Delaying the effect of repairs on detection, so that the user has enough time to order silent-running and thus stop repairs.

IIRC, reloading torpedoes increases the detection probability in SH3. As a simple fix one could just do exactly the same for repairs (assuming that repairing and reloading creates the same noise level). A more advanced version would be increasing the probability depending on the damaged items (radio, diesel, batteries,... but one has to keep in mind that the crew always repairs all items in one compartment). However, I think this is not necessary.
You are right that it might be problematic if you have damage. However, I think the answer is that you just have to stop repairs by ordering silent-running before. If some items are damaged that you desperately need to repair, well, then you must live with the increased detection probability...like in real life
I guess this makes it harder, however, the idea to repair diesels/batteries,... during a depth charge attack without any consequences is just too ridiculous for me. I guess the main thing that really requires repairs during a depth charge attack is flooding.
