Agreed. The system was far better in SHIII. It seems like the Chief Engineer also gets wounded every time. It's mainly the sense of a complete lack of control as the hammers are hammering but nothing is being prioritized, everyone's shouting and the sub just fills up with water (crew members still in their bunks) and the depth meter starts spinning.
One desperate measure I took once was to go to full steam ahead which seemed to activate the dive planes. I actually got to a safer depth and shook my pursuers somehow.
Anyway, I can't imagine there's much that can be done. It'd be great to be able to incorporate the SHIII system lock lock and barrel.
