On reading both posts, from 2DarkWolf2 & torp bait...
seem to recall there being a somewhat of a delay, after having dived for the depths to avoid incoming attacks from aircraft... of having damage reports... pardon the pun...
'flooding' in.
Am wondering if this might not be yet.. another case of that, by chance...
Know there's instances of taking damage/s, getting them repaired & after several hours in game going by, do a save & when you go & reload to continue... bam... there you are getting reports of those self same damages being re repaired... or finishing up... or shouts of damages then everything fades out & no damages are shown when you go to check the damage board... just some other examples of similar.. quirky end results that have cropped up before, that I recall.
