Actually, flooding if it is controlled by Democrates:

1. Get a board together to investigate the flooding ( takes 6-8 months)
2. Make a 16000 page disertation on the flooding and the boards recommendations.
3. Apply for and authorize fund appropriations (another 6-8 months)
4. Contact an environmental group to make sure correcting the flooding is OK for the environment and will not impact the migration of the blue whale or sea otters reproduction cycle.
5. Contact the Department of Labor and make sure there is equal representations from all walks of life that will handle the flooding. (another 6-8 months)
6. Take 6-8 months to make sure all personel are prepared and trained properly. Materials are appropriated
7. Take care of the flooding.
8. Take 6-8 months after controlling the flooding for study as to impact of environment and crew.

For flooding, I will ask all the able man to patch it for me, since it is critical & hazardous. Also I usually try to keep my boat close to surface (i.e. periscope depth) Don't think that your crews can patch up the boat when it is at 200m deep

By the way, the boat really sinks (very slowly) when there is flooding

i once got the stern torpedo room and stern barracks flooded and managed to control it, but it was cool to see that the sub had all that water in it: in the external view of the sub, the stern would sink deeper than the bow, so that the sub would not be "horizontal" (easier to see at periscope depth, for instance). cool that they took this into account ;)

I didn't know that, I usually just man the repair crew and that's it. Thanks for the heads-up. :up:

yep weight and balance matters! You can also reduce your bow wave when running decks awash by moving your spare crew to the forward compartments.

That's interesting, I never really noticed (of course I usually either have almost no damage or die, so that may be why).

Jimbuna: I like to go out with a bang. In this case, there was only one bang that was good for me.
