I know the game refers to bulkhead damage as hull damage, but this is misleading, the numbers are NOT the same - there is one hull, or boat, and several bulkheads, all with their own HP and damage. Clearly seen in saves.
Busted bulkeads lead to flooding and issues holding depth.
Hull failure simply results in everything failing and losing your diesel fuel. When that happens its over, spinny screen incoming. There are no flooding or depth keeping issues associated with hull damage.

I'm starting to notice the hull/bulkhead deal you talking about. Today I was busy attempting to get damaged so I could work with damage control. This part of the program is just about there. I did notice if you put the mouse over the dark red line you get a number showing how long to repair. I never noticed that before.
Todays repairs went just fine. Bad bulkhead damage, almost to the top in ugly dark red. Prop, stern torps damaged. I fixed the bulkhead. Crew said hull repaired yadda yadda. So I decided to test my luck and went to 200 feet. No problem, she held. I do not know if keeping the crew on battle stations helps the cause for repairs. I did and it seems to work.
It seems the answers to the damage are looking at us right in the face but we are not seeing it. I have studied the screen and moved men around. Got to be an answer.
