THere is a tonne of work that could be done to improve the damage modeling of the subs.

1) repair time is completley unrealistic
2) rarely, as a skipper, do you have to change your tactics on the basis of damage you have recieved. Consider:

-damage to the hull props or planes does not make you noisier under water
-permament battery damage hardly ever happens
-depth keeping seems unaffected by damage
-there is no damage to the air conditioning/ scrubbing that would make it harder to stay long underwater

Basically, taking damage in this game should somtimes create real challenges for the skipper. MOre often than not, you die, or you fix your problems pretty quick - there is no in-between.
