Jason, I got around to changing armor levels to =0 as recommended-big difference. ran a test in a VIIC in the U 505 mission. With scope up at speed once the escorts noticed me(thats another story) I watched the boat get peppered with all sorts of automatic weapons fire. A couple of far misses from cannon fire. I stayed at pd long enough to see what kind of damage this would cause. Basically everything on the tower got hit except for the attack scope, heavy damage to all flag guns(flak area in red) no hull damage at all. Finally crashed to 210m and stayed at sr until the escorts gave up. The boat suvived numerous dc attacks none came close.
All the topside damage was caused by small arms fire so this appeared closer to reality.
Things seem to be back on the right path changing these armor levels as suggested.
