Thank you, FiFi.
I reinforced my personal crew configuration adding more repairing petty officers, so I can have a chance.
I will follow your suggestions, thank you. I will assign as many POs as possible in the compartment, leaving some other in the repair team to fix the damage. I try to avoid warships and planes, but sometimes they appear too close to my position, and I have to decide what to do - quickly.
I adjusted the RWR antennas ranges in order to resemble the real situation at the time - just for the sake of complicating my life even more.

From what I read, the Naxos, Tunis, and especially the Borkum were never working as expected and their range was limited; sometimes leaving just sufficient time to submerge before being attacked; so once I receive a radar signal, I usually have about a minute to submerge. That was my decision, and I'm happy with that, but as You can Imagine, I get pretty close to the mortality rate of WW2 U-boat crews.

When I see everything's lost, I blow ballast so I can save as many crew as possible.

The time I survived ( the one I was mentioning in the previous post), once on the surface, I realized that it was not possible to pump the water out; The compartment was in Yellow, and with about 65% flooded stern section, but the crew was not pumping the water out. So every time I was submerging, I could not manoeuvre properly underwater - Suffering a steep pitch that didn't allow me to carry on. After three failed attempts, I abandoned the uboat close to the American coasts. Was this intended or a bug? I mean, If the compartment is flooded, can you remove the water, later, or it remains there?

Anyway playing in the late war with your mod - Wow - I mean: Decks awash, scared to be spotted at night, Rocketed most of the times ( pretty spectacular ), and suffering great amounts of damage during attacks. That is pretty realistic, for real.

I would like to ask you: what about the "Air Fido"? I don't think I was ever attacked with one of them, but the option is checked...

Thank you for the Bergen position, FiFi. I think there is the same issue in Bordeaux, but I'm not sure.
