Recently I suffered a DC attack that left me flooding in the forward Torpedo room. The sub sunk nose first to the ocean floor (luckily it was shallow). After repairing the damage (only the hydrophones were destroyed) I made attempt to move on. Only the sub handled as if the compartment was still flooded. I had to move at 6 kts to gain any rise, where anything less to 2 kts kept me level and below 2, I sank.
My query is 2 fold. First, is flooding incremental as any in, any previous flooding impares current flooding till you can't surface no matter how fast you go? Evidence would show that flooding modifiers stick to the negative boyance even after a repair.
Also, when repairing, I noticed the repair time only reduced when I placed crew in the compartment that increased the relevant efficiency of that compartment only, ie. Torpedo qualified crew in the torp room, or helm in control etc. So the relevancy of repairs in a specific compartment is based on the compartments efficiency and NOT the repair efficiency of any repair qualified crew IN it?
Please clarify.
