well yes, you are right about that...

But there are something to take in count.

1) You never should let your submarine be rammed by a surface vessel, and its very hard to happen.

2) If in real life the u-boat is rammered by a destroyer, for exemple, and its a very hard hit against the hull, the uboat would have a very serious damage, lots of flooding and equipment destroyed and deaths, but still the biggest part of the crew would be alive and would see their very ending moments, while they would sink to the depths.

3) In sh3, modded or not, if you are rammered really hard, you would berely hear the hit on the metal and would get the death screen. With my mod, there are flooding, there are deaths, there are equipment destroyed and you will sink to the botton and you wont be able to recover yourself, coz most parts of the uboat will be destroyed, you wont have any reliable equipment to help you out and save your life. I tested it myself. The exterior hull is much tougher, but the inside equipment is just as fragile as it was before. Dont matter if your hull is at 99%, if your eletric motors are destroyed and you have flooding all over the place, there is nothing you can do, you will sink and die, but at least you will be able to experience this. This mod is not intended to give you a second chance, its intended to show you whats happening AFTER YOU ARE ALREADY DOOMED!

As I said, the only real problem I can see so far is that one damaged uboat has the same crush depth as a brand new one. And who knows? Maybe even in a damaged uboat, the sinking crew would be able to experience really horrible last moments passing the 300 meters. There is not how to know that for sure, coz dead crew cant talk. But I deeply belive that those uboats could take a lot more that they were intended to, and not always the pressure hull would just implode all together in a bang. It would most probably collapse in fragments and with some time difference, and until the very last breath, the very last blink, there is no death screen for those poor sailors.
