Here comes that mod (but it's for GWX1.02 not 03 and that's the point). On my attached image you can see damage by a single bomb! It took me a week to repair everything and still hydro and funk were destryed... Look at pumping times! With engines doing max 1-2 kts it's kinda scary... Thing is that with full mod sub is lost after reload but than in game when you dive after taking damage it starts to leak heavy! So I need to do some test changing the zon file to adjust it properly.

Can't wait than! Now I feel completely untouchable while going inside a convoy and simply picking targets while reloading tubes... Mid 42, GWX03, full realism...
