Just ran into a situation where my Type VIIC boat was attacked by air (Bergen 1944). Brilliant/lucky manuevering on my part saved us, there were numerous medium to near misses. Boat suffered no damage yet crew kept advising "were taking damage". I immediately checked the damage screen only to find all in perfect order. False alarm?
Don't recall this happening before. Are the crew warning sounds triggered by actual compartment damage(compartment going yellow, orange, red)
or are they triggered by some other factor? In this case the boat was rocked side to side violently but that also happens in dc attacks without
crew crying wolf.
I'm still using the RUB fatigue model as I'm most familiar with it for now.

Just a thought; This is a fresh crew on their first mission. Does crew experience have anything to do with triggering false damage alarms. In other words if this were a veteran crew with a couple missions under their belt would they still be giving the damage warnings?
