Returning Damage Mystery

Doolar · 01-25-13, 11:57 AM

I have just returned from my latest patrol and after looking at my " PERSONAL FILE " created in COMMANDER, that I had a damaged U-Boat to the tune of ( H. I. 98.44% ). I didn't receive any damage during that patrol. In fact I parked the boat in the slip in Lorient, came to a complete stop, then exited the patrol. Honestly I'm really not to sure what ( H. I. 98.44% ), means. Well the H.I. part that is. But I received 99.44% of it Has this happened to anyone else ? My question is : What doed the H. I. mean ? Once I know that, I'll be able to figure out what might have happened. Thanx Jerry

H.I. is Hull Integrity. You didn't take 99.44% damage, you have 99.44% left, which means that somewhere along the line you took a measly 0.66% damage. Depth charge? Bullet from an airplane? Scraped the dock a tiny bit? Who knows? But you only have a scratch.

Tell the cook to stop banging the trashcan against the hull.
