^^^^^^what he said^^^^^^^^^^

Basically looking for the same thing....a realistic way to slow flooding ships to a crawl after torpedo damage. I feel this is not modelled in a the game that well (or SH3 for that matter). I know the anwser is "it depends"...but should a ship thats going 10 knots...slow to mabey 5 knots while taking on water...listing...sinking ...aka more surface area the ship needs to push through the water.

Obviously not all ships in a convoy are maxed out at the top speed of the convoy..but most convoys are matched with similular speed ships no??

wiki convoy...under ww2 tactics....." allocating vessels to convoys according to speed, so that faster ships were less exposed"

meaning that even if a convoy is at 10 knot, ship X wouldnt neccesarily be faster than say 15 knots undamaged? I have yet to see significant speed drop with flooding. They just seem to speed along at the same speed as the convoy. Even bad weather (rough seas) caused ships to become straglers.
