Hell strength and collisions at sea...

I mean HULL strength...can't edit subject line...sorry!

So I just finished my first career war patrol...thank you thank you, please hold all applause until the end...Anyway, I sank two gun boats, two destroyers and two merchants, all totaling just over 10,000 tons of shipping, I won't count a third merchant that I slammed 6 torpedoes into but just wouldn't go down!...anyway, not too much of a great run, but at least I lived to talk about it...

Here's the thing though...during night hunting, I was rammed not once, but twice by japanese destroyers and I sustained little damage as a result...the sound was God awful but the bark was definitely bigger than the bit...the destroyers were moving quick and I can only assume that I should have been seriously damaged if not sank by one or both of these collisions...So I'm wondering, is the collision damage modeling inaccurate at the current build...

I'll also note that I was awarded not only the "wound medal" but also the "Medal of Valor"...isn't that the highest award that can be given in the game? I thought I did really well on my first patrol, but not THAT well!

Ok...you are free to cheer now!
