>> I was mad last night so you will have to disregard that last post. It was my 7th partol, just outside of turk. Late 1942. Samlon class. Seen by two subchasers, fired 4 eels, missed by a second. Dive the boat to at depth of 80m. ( I had taken no damage since the patrol had started, no contacts really even, one duel with a zero that i won without a bomb even hitting close ) So damage is out of the question. Subchaser starts a run, i'm well below the TL now, running silent. He starts charging at LEAST 200 m off the bow. I take a quick look in the OB scope to see if i can see anything at all, and i see a charge go off the forward bow, but it had to be at least 100 m away. 2 charges in total, one nothing, second all i can hear is we have heavy flooding. Pressure hull ripped open in at least 2 sections. I try to maintain depth and damage control for about 5 min, its a losing battle so i blow the main tanks and take her up. Seeing as there is no abandon ship option, i fire a few rounds from the deck gun in anger and then thats it...

I was killed by fire on the surface in answer to your question, but, why are the charges so powerful in SH4. I'm a GWX vet. SH4 is eazy vs. GWX, this is the first real time i took damage, and the last one. Also i am using TM 1.6.2.
Any ideas so is this just SH4?
