I'm afraid it's too late now.
Here's what happened: I was surprised by a single aircraft and decided to withstand the initial attack, and dive later. Four bombs landed at my stern, killing the gunner. At first glance, the damage to the boat appeared minor and I dived, sending damage control crew to stop the floodings.
The flooding was heavier than I estimated, and the boat immediately started to sink fast, stern down. The needle was well beyond 260m when I regained control of the boat and started to raise. But it was too late. The hull colapsed.
The question is - would the flooding cause the boat to sink if I stayed on surface instead of diving (assuming no additional damage from the aircraft)?
