total hull damage is displayed by hovering the mouse cursor next to the damage control team.
however this is reset to 0 on loading a saved game, but the actualy damage remains
damage to a certain compartment however is always hidden
worse still it seems that in addition to crush depth being lowered, time below the water seems to be lowered
ok how can i explain this one.
im hit badly and sink. after some time i manage to almost beach myself in a river, over the next few hours i do my repairs, now the destroyers cant reach me and have started to leave anyway.
im not taking more damage, what im doing is lying on the bottom of the sea at about 60 feet. im brining things slowly under control.
my damage reports tear past and i am dead.... this is so confusing, why am i dead ?
all i can think of is that in addition to lowering my crush depth, wich is fine of course, its also decided that if im damaged i can only stay submerged for a small amount of time, after wich you die automatically. now matter how much damage you fixed in the meantime.
i think this is a bug/issue of sorts, because on some occaisions you do indeed manage to get back up.
maybe it has progressive damage, but if it does please let us the players know.
dying without knowing why is the worst thing in a game.
