It's the main sub .zon file, SH3zoneCtrl@NSS_Uboat7* , attached to the main object(whole sub).

On the other hand, PeriscopeBodie's have not external 3d model linking; nonetheless, if my interpretation of them is correct, their models are located in data/Subarine/Common/Parts/Room_?? - Periscop + Anim.GR2, and each got a sim file with PeriscopeStationController and InteractionContext controllers. You could try adding damage boxes to them.

I haven't spent much time exploring common folder, maybe i should do that, but i tried to merge periscopes gr2 files with their sim files without success, goblin editor crashes.... But, like i said before, i'm pretty much satisfied with current periscopes damage and i don't care so much about menu readings...

Hm, flooding control maybe?

Try changing the HP upc setting of an equipment which got its own damage box and see what happens. Use huge numbers to be sure that eventual effects won't pass unnoticed. I am 99% sure that nothing will happen.

I think i already tried that, 10HP or 1000HP, it's the same...

I think so...Although, i haven't tested KDB hidrophone so much because i dont know how to add updated hidrophone to the test mission, it's always standard GHG...

Actually, i expected this kind of behavior...Hydrophones are completely different from the deck gun for example and when crew reporting you bearings and distance, it looks like those readings aren't connected to hydrophone controllers in any case. Example is, you can ask sonarmen for nearest contact even while You using hydrophone and pointing sensors in completely different direction. It's like underwater version of "nearest visual contact" report...
