There isn't just one global "correct" point of view. So no one is missing anything. We all have our own points.
On one side people are arguing realism. Imo realism arguments only go so far before they cross over the fun/balance line.
From a fun and balance POV, I don't think getting sent out on missions when you have dual compartment flooding and a hole in the side of the sub is fun or balanced. The game is already challenging enough for me without having to fight with a sub full of water.
If you want to argue the realistic side of that argument, then I still don't think it's very realistic that a commander would take a sub in that condition into another fight, especially against multiple ASW ships and patrolling helos.
You have to draw the line between what's realistic and what's good for gameplay, because this game isn't real life and never will be. That said I shouldn't be forced by the game to endanger my sub or my imaginary crew based on "realism".
And I know I have the choice to ignore the mission. When I say forced, I mean the game is forcing me to choose between a likely death and taking a penalty.
