Any chance the faulty damage mods for various ships/subs can be fixed? It has been well documented that it is possible for a merchant to ram you without suffering damage.

Last night, while sneaking through the English Channel, a destroyer inadvertently struck my sub while I was at periscope depth. My sub rocked violently as the destroyer scraped by. My conning tower was damaged, but the damage was fixable in 1 minute. I had no pressure hull damage. The destroyer, on the other hand, suffered fatal damage and sunk.

I don’t have much of a problem with the destroyer sinking. At least that is possible, if not probable. But I do have a problem with sub damage model. I should have to limp back to port for a direct hit like that. If I am going to limit my information on the pressure hull for historical accuracy, I can’t have a damage model that is so far off from reality. I would hate to go back to port after a hit like that and find out that I am still at 100% integrity.
