Not if you get back up before the hull is crushed 
Crash Speed has a lot to do with that.
Default is 2
I am currently using .01+++ - less than 1% of default
Next test will use .1+++ between 5%-10% of default |
You dont understand me... if you pass the crush depth, but with a slow crashspeed you are able to rise your sub to shallow depths, the hull continues its damage and destroy proccess ?
That seems to happen with the curious "unreversible sink".... |
OK Redwine, I tested your question
Same Gato as before, same settings
Before : 401ft - after 3 hours .31 damage, 4h 34m crush
Now: 401ft = after 3.5 hours .373276 Damage.
Order PD recheck - same damage
Cruise at PD 6 hours. Damage is now .424262 - 5% more damage.
Order Surface, recharge.
Order PD. Cruise 6 hours. Damage stable
Cruise addition 4 hours. Damage stable.
Order Surface, recharge.
Order depth 149.
After 2 hours no additional damage
After 8 hours no additional damage.
So it seems that once you start damage, it will continue until you surface. Once you do so, the sub should be somewhat servicable. Please note that this is 100% just hull damage that NEVER shows up anywhere except the save game, and that you never have any trouble keeping depth with 1/3 Ahead. In game the only clue you have is blinking lights and occasional minor graphical leaks.
I am going to redo this test with my bulkheads set back to type=wall. I expect no major difference.
