Well, it's dark and the water is too murky to see like in SH3 so I can't be certain how close the depth charge is getting to me.
But I have a save game in the middle of a fight where I just nailed a destroyer and now about 7 destroyers and 2 PT boats are vectoring in on me and nailing me in 90 meters of water. I can cruise at flank speed to a deeper spot about 150 meters deep, and on my last game reload I just went flank to get there and just about made it when they hit me.
I got all the damage under control at 145 feet deep and the escorts had given up looking for me but we could not stop the flooding.
The pressure hull of one of the compartments was at 4% and they could never fix it.
It just feels to me like I have a glass uboat.
I'm going to keep reloading this scenario to see if I can figure out the rhyme or reason to damage control.
I'm getting the impression that what kills you is not 100% flooding of a compartment as in SH3, because my compartment flooded to 100% and the game did not end. But instead in SH5 it's about pressure hull %. So maybe I should have put the damage control effort on the pressure hull to start with.
