[U-Schultz]

I voted for malfunctions only.

I think the "sabotage" angle, that seems to be very prominent in some U-boat histories, is way overdone. I have no stats to back up this feeling but if you read mid to late war histories I rarely read of a breakdown or malfunction...the word "sabotage" is always used.

Its difficult for me to imagine that the U-Boat arm could be so sloppy as to allow (seemingly) constant tampering of their boats by foreign dock-workers.
I would guess that poor quality parts, overworked or tired techs, lack of proper parts, increasingly inexperienced crews, and the rush to get returning boats back to sea, are the main cause of problems not "sabotage."

Again, that is my opinion based on years of reading and study.

On a more practical note did I read correctly, in the other thread, that any malfunctions generated will not be repairable at sea (in-game)? i.e., through the standard SH3 repair process?

EDIT: Could this feature be made a "check-box" selectable option in SH3 Commander? Perhaps selectable like the Fatigue models..."Malfunctions Only" or "Malfunctions and Sabotage."
