Hi,

I think the boat had only 3 compartments that could be flooded separately from the others. If one was flooded you could not surface anymore (just trying to escape from the boat if not too deep).

The whole idea of flooding in the single compartments in SH3 is not very realistic (the compartments in SH3 have not much in common with the compartments in real-life). So, fixing the 'instant-death' would not make it in any way more realistic, IMHO. Imagine the radio/hydrophone room flooded completely. How would you go to the bow?

A better solution probably would be that if the water reaches a certain level, water starts to flow to the next rooms,... At some point you have so much water that you cannot keep depth, you sink, and get crushed. The big question is whether this can be modded

Cheers, LGN1

Edit: With the tower and the control room flooded you could still surface in principle.
