Hrm.. in my game flooding = death simple as that.
if im submerged then it means that for me too.
ok say im beneath the water, but manage to repair the hulls. then you would think that you wouldnt take on more water, and this seems to be the case.

so now the problem is i cant blow balast due to destroyers in the area, so i wait and wait and suddenly die.
everything just goes to max damage.

now in one example i took damage whilst surfaced, after a long battle against a cargo ship and planes it got dark enough for me to get away.
i had terrible damage (90% worse than anythning ive taken whilst submerged)
now on the surface i repaired everything i could, and the water onboard was removed. after wich i could submerge to depths of over 200feet with ease.

now on another career i got hit once more whilst submerged, slight hull damage minor flooding. and knew i was dead.
i got the hulls fixed. and tried to get away from the destroyers, as i came close to suceeding in that, bang max damage again.

is there a timer that destroys the sub if water isnt removed in a certain time ?
its not like im even being hit by a depth charge, i just go from fixing my hulls and stopping more water comming in, to being dead.

yet in the same instance if i get above the water, and avoid the destroyers wich ive done in poor weather. i fix the problems, and my subs fine.

but i dont think that any Das boot moments are possible here.
a foot of water in the bow means you die after some time unless you surface.
thats got to be a bug or poor coding surely ?
