flakmonkey; Ahh yeah the crash dive bug, except this problem occurs from damage/flooding.

I can understand there would be residual water to be pumped, but it lasts forever. On a test run I took damage in the Cadiz area - repaired everything and then took the sub slow-2/3 all the way around Ireland, past Scapa, then back to Kiel. This takes days, over a week's (game) time. Once a day I would dive and check bouyancy, guess what - ahead standard or sink to the end.

Through the whole time I have at least two repair qual's in each damaged compartment plus more in the repair team w/officers repair qual'ed, tried no fatiuge, jazz like that. Now I could be mistaken but if the flooding recovery time = 0, then there is no water left. And if there is, neither compartment indicates where, so basicaly then I'm supposta have repair guys wait around with thumbs up the arse and forced to burn more fuel. And on top of that trying to maintain periscope depth for an attack with this problem is about futile.
I basicaly have a yo-yo with torpedoes.
