I wish to have a look into it, but I cannot find it. Can you post a screen capture showing the pump zone selected in Goblin's damage editor?

P.S: have you noticed that the deck gun got a damage box on boat's hull?

Yes, noticed it too. I think Goblin doesn't like the PeriscopeStation controller. Anyway you don't need to merge the sim file for assigning a damage box to animated periscope bodies. If you want, I can do it for you.

On a side note: does the damage management window have separate fields for periscope heads and bodies, or they are merged into one equipment with its own damage percent?

You should care. As I have told you, our crew will spend time and morale in fixing broken stuff. It is totally pointless for them to waste their time and morale on periscope damage rapairs which do nothing, while they could just focus on essential (i.e. non-cosmetic) equipment. I am not saying that we can't live with this kind of bug, but imo we should struggle a bit more before giving up

Okay, now try changing the same setting for equipments which have no box of their own

You should test in campaign. There's a campaign Trevally has modified for me and Volodya, which allowed us to test various Flaks not easily available in campaign. Its link doesn't work anymore, but hopefully Trevally or Volodya saved the test campaign in their HD's

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...

I am afraid you are wrong on this subject. I have worked personally on those controllers, when I and Volodya fixed the broken R.E.M. hydrophones. They affect AI as well as the human player. Maybe, in light of your tests, they are not essential for AI though. You can test it by removing manually all the SensorData controllers owned by hydrophones in UBoot_Sensors.sim. Beware that if you are using the R.E.M. version of the above file, each sensor got three of those controllers IIRC.
