damage graphics overdone?

Well, as a starting point I've been away far, far too long.

What spurred my return was my recent purchase of Silent Hunter 4.
Now to the business of this thread.

I was recently engaged by a destroyer in surface combat (I surfaced to finish off a merchant ship) and received two hard hits before crash diving. To see what damage had been done, I went into the external view and found to my horror two of the worst hits my precious Pike had ever taken. the decking above the bow planes was caved and worst was a ten foot diameter hole on the starboard side aft the conning tower. What got me was the fact that
1. My crew including those in that areas were still alive and kicking
2. That I wasn't on the ocean floor (I was submerged already however)

Which brings me to my point, is this damage realistic, or eye candy?
