Well, 1.2 is here. What do you guys think now?
I took some light damage on the gun deck and went about trying to get it fixed. The manual is totally and utterly useless with it's whole four sentences on DC - that explain absolutely nothing.
So I tried just figuring it out on my own. Moving crew to the repair team, moving items up and down the repair queue, left-clicking here, right-clicking there. I never reached the point where I was told something was fixed so I can't comment on whether it was 'repaired' or 'stabilized'. I don't care which one, pick one. I just want to know for a fact which one was picked.
I had no idea how extensive the damage was, how long it was going to take to repair or even if it was being repaired at all. This is important DC information that should be jumping out of the DC screen at us, snarling and growling and flinging spittle about the room. It should not be hiding on the crew screen in a tooltip or in any other equally ridiculous place.
My opinion: essentially broken.
DC is entirely too important for a submarine to have this much ambiguity about how the system works.
