Was cruising at snorkel depth off the west coast of England. Struck a mine. Took heavy damage and flooding to bow quarters, command room, radio room, and conning tower. Light damage was reported in the diesel and electric engine room. Flooding caused us to sink to the seabed. Tried to maintain snorkel depth, but could not. Main pump, periscopes, radar, flak guns, early warning, hydrophones, and radio all took very heavy damage. Fortunately, the diesel engines, rear batteries, and fuel tank sustained only light damage. Unfortunately, the forward batteries were destroyed upon striking the mine. It took about 30 hours to complete all repairs, with the damage control team working non-stop. Luckily, we were not detected during the time we were disabled. Also, no crew injuries were reported (amazingly). We are now limping our way back to Lorient. Cannot complete patrol. The crew was highly stressed, but performed their duties well. They should all be commended for saving our disabled boot.

I think it's fair to say that this is the feel & scenario you worked towards. Amazing story and mod!

Say mate, what's your setup...mod wise!
