Hello folks,
I don't know what it is, but the longer I play SH 4 the more I dislike it.
The thing I dislike the most is the damage controll system.
I just don't get it.
I was chased by 3 jap. destroyers after I hit a convoy, all bow torpedo tubes were damaged. As I shaked them, I submerged and ordered repairs. I draged and droped everything in order, compressors and bulkheads were a priority of course. However, my crew could not fix the bow tubes. I set the whole crew at battle stations, fat forwarded the time and 5 days later the tubes were still damaged.

They were not destroyed I think, the red bar next to the module said 0.52 or 0.6 depending on the tube. I waited for 2 weeks in game time and nothing changed. And how does flooding work in game, you could focus one compartment in SH3 when it came to flooding, it does not seem to be the case here.
At the end I tried to sneak into a japanese Port and event hough I rigged for silent runing 3 destroyers found me anyways. In fact they camge from about 20 miles to me, that means they could hear me. Did I do something wrong?

During the bombardment I tried to fire the stern torpedos. My ordonance officer simply said "torpedo is to damaged" And that was the nail in the coffin because all 4 torpedos were damaged aparently.

And now I get floating ships imune to torpedos because they float.
Edit: The floating ships seemed to be a one time thing, further observations are required.

For mods: I run the Tigger Maru Overhaul 2.5, Pacific enviroment, installed the way it told me in the guide and an fix for missing crew eyes.

Maybe somebody could help me.
