For me, I like not having the hull integrity showing. Reason being is this(probably the reason I do not finish patrol #2
), under the water, DC creating flooding, the engineers can look at the inside of the hull. They can not look at the outside...not until the boat is surfaced. Generally, they are making an educated guess as to what the boat can take. He will never be 100% sure of what the boat can handle. We are given a % for hull integrity that is giving you an exact measurement. You then base you decision on this. Not too realistic to me. If you have been DC'd quite a bit, a lot of flooding and repairs...you can deduce that the hull is not in the best of shape. Transit home,no further attacks on escorted vessels and no deep diving is in order. This is your decision as the Captain. It is this small room of doubt that make it just a little more exciting and realistic to me.
At this time all we have is hull integrity scale on or off. There is no inbetween. So it all is a matter of taste concerning this scale.
