202. Hand-holds and Ragdoll physics when under DC attack or in rough seas.
Imagine of the effect of a non-lethal DC explosion was both very much louder, and suppressed the ability to give orders verbally, if instead of the "fire-flies" DC effect, there was additionally marked disturbance in pitch/roll/yaw and buoyancy, with a camera shake that has directionality relative to where the DC has gone off, rendering the ability to read instruments very difficult (if not destroying some of them!), Now combine this with a series of possible items in the uboat which players can use as hand-holds to keep themselves steady (this also holding true in rough seas). Finally, imagine a ragdoll physics model where players can be knocked off their feet, possibly injured, if they are not adjacent to one of these hand-holds, with faster recovery to their station if they are, and longer recovery if they are not....
Seated players would be fairly immune to the ragdoll effect, but those on their feet, away from a hand-hold, may have a rougher time of it....
