I was watching a TV show called Weaponology on the Military Channel and I heard an account of a submariner who was in shallow waters attacking a convoy. They got a freighter from the convoy and had to submerge after a destroyer attacked them. Anyway, a man who was on the submarine is still alive today. However, after they were attacked by the destroyer, they submerged and sat on the bottom. Their submarine was not harmed after sitting on the bottom for 8 hours. They got out of there after being on the bottom and having 2 destroyers depth charge them incessantly.

If you did that in Silent Hunter IV, you'd hear the whiny screams of "WE'RE TAKING DAMAGE SIR!" "MEDIC!" and "WE HAVE FLOODING SIR!" Why can't we do that or change that? It would be nice, because I could hit the bottom of the sea and be depth charged and avoid getting pounded as much. I wonder if we can fix this.

It would rock.

I can just hit the bottom and avoid getting the crap pounded out of me, or being cut in two by a destroyer. Whichever. Anyway, can we change the physics? Apparently, Ubisoft does not think that this is possible, even though it is to sit on the bottom with a submarine and avoid sonar detectio and it's been done, why can't we do it? I just don't know why. Unless there are mods for it.
