With some things, Silent Hunter is a game of extremes and hull integrity is one of them(map contacts on/off is another but I won't get into that).

With HI indicator turned on, it gives you an exact reading of how badly damaged your hull is. There was no gauge like that inany submarine,

With the HI indicator turned off with SH3Commander, now you have no idea how badly damaged your hull is, when any Chief Engineer can at least give his captain an idea how badly damaged his sub is.

There really isn't any middle ground except that an awesome modder named h.sie made a mod called "Colored Hull Integrity Indicator" that changes the percentage into one of four colors depending how badly you're damaged. Now there is at least a little mystery, but you at least have an idea of how you stand in the integrity department without knowing the exact percentage.
