Tenders actually were capable of doing some large repairs believe it or not. Machine shops and the likes were extensive. I do believe the damage modeling should be improved. Why not when pulling up to the tender can't we recieve a fairly detailed report (or even when out to sea and surfaced) about what can be fixed, what cannot without RTB and going in the yards, what it will affect and how jacked up whatever is damaged really is? Like in the parenthasis above when sufaced the crew should be able to make a fairly detailed report also (and when submerged the interior only can be inspected)
I think that will add some more to the DC model, instead of having some gage telling us a percentage, it would then be on the captain and crew to determine if she can refuel and go or should end the patrol early so no one needlesly goes to the bottom and can live to fight another day.
