i finally realised why i always died in situations where i thought i should not.
time to flooding will show as 22 minutes, and time to repair as 28.
swapping in fit crew for the injured in that compartment has no effect.
turning the damage controll team on and off. increasing or decreasing theyre numbers has no effect either.
even if you only sink to something like 50 feet and repair all the damage, you die after 22 minutes anyway.

basically im guessing its meant to be catastrophic damage. and anything you do after receiving it is pointless.

however in one other occaision i must have received light damage to the hull and the crew were actually able to stop the flooding. my sub behaved fine after this down to depths of 200 feet.

it seems that in the first instance. nothing what so ever has any effect on flooding.
in the end i turned the damage controll team off. came off battle stations.
flooding in 22 time to repair still 28.

so not being able to surface i sit on the sea for 22 minutes, and die.
i can only assume some damage is meant to be so devastating that you cannot repair it.

those are some powerfull AA machine guns on the backs of those cargo ships...
