The game doesnt do a very good job of detailing the amount, and even more so, the type of damage. Any penetrating damage on the hull is fatal...period. On top of that any repairs to this kind of damage is really possible at sea, there just wasnt the resources and tools to "patch" the hull. The game demonstrates that well by causing the ship to have critical structural failure at minor depths, but its modeled horribly.
I had hull damage last night that should have sunk me, but it only caused my ship to sink after I repaired it. yes, it should have sunk me, but it should have sunk me once I dived, not after my crew supposedly fixed it and then we get a rapid and catastrophic failure of the hull.
I really hope someone address that issue...not the failure so much, becasue thats fine, but the failure only happening after the supposed repair.
