Damage model: Please report your experiences!

How are your experiences with the damage model in the game? On one hand yours as a uboat and on the other hand the ships damage model.

I haven't had a lot to note about the sub's damage model; I've been shot at by guns, depth charges and machineguns. Repairs are not instant but quick. Gunfire sunk me pretty quickly, but machineguns had very little effect.

Ships sink a little slower than SHIV, and in general seem to take more than one torpedo to go down. Deck gun seems to take about 30-40 shots to sink a ship.

Ships damage model: about the same as stock SH 3 or 4. They sink way too fast.

U Boat Damage: haven't tested yet

Actually the Ship damage has been adjusted it seems. Looks better. The holes look better. Pretty explosions some times... Ship sinking seems to be random to me.

I lost 3 kills my last long ass patrol because the ships would not sink and just kept going. Now most of them only had 2 hits... But one I hit with a 3rd and it still did not go down.

At that time I didn't know that the Destroyer AI was broken so I ran away before I got spotted.

If I would of known the Destroyer AI does nothing at that time I would of waited and finished them off.:rotfl2:

The destroyer ai does plenty in my campaign, in one encounter they kept hunting for me and dropping depth charges for several hours of game time. Their search patterns are much better too, I eventually had to surface due to lack of o2 and was several miles from the initial attack and the damn things were still right on top of me. My current campaign is on realistic in case that's relevant.

Damage too, appears to be better modelled, while I have taken out ships with a single torp breaking a ships back from a metre below the hull, I have equally had some that are buggers, and refuse to sink. One liberty cargo took my last three torps and over 50 shells before it went down, I was really pleased it was so tough to finish off, made it all the sweeter when it did go down.

Ships sink very quickly here. I hope someone mods it to be more reasonable.
