That is why if we get a damage gauge, I'm turning it off.
Thats fine. I dont even nessicarily need a gauge. But, when SH4 has visuals that show big chunks taken out of your boat, it would be nice to have an option to select that its patched up. Whether its percentage, or any other system, many of the damages are obvious, or, in the very least, you know the boat is sparking, and lights are spritzing at depth....You at least know by inspection something needs work.
