Well in that last mission I eventually went back to port with it still damaged. No biggy.
But now I've got a real problem!
200 or so miles south of Tokyo, I was ambushed by 2 aircraft. Bombs hit as I was diving. I was able to down one of the aircraft on the way down, but then I was on the way down. Flooding was critical (or so they told me, I have no idea where the flooding stuff is) and my engineroom was damaged, both types.
I was sinking so I had no real choice but to blow ballast. I was lucky. The second plane didn't come back. I had the repair guys repair the bulkhead and the engines. Now all that's left is the flak gun and the deck gun (those things never want to repair). According to the damage station, the engines are repaired, yet they aren't starting. Some of my crew are yellowed out, but under their health they say like 93 or 95 percent.
In effect, I don't know why I'm not moving. To make matters worse, it seems the back of the sub is slowly settling in the downward position, and I don't know why I'm flooding or how to fix it.
So I guess my question is...
1. How do I get the engines going again?
2. How do I stop the flooding? How do I even tell that I'm flooding other than their reports?
