Yeah just like the title said ships just wont slip under the waves

The Ships hull HP is 0 all compartments are flooded and its still floating and will take 20 minutes to sink.

Here is my current mod soup

But twenty minutes is nothing!
Sometimes (IRL) boats took days to sink.

Start a seperate new test campaign and see if they sink properly . Sometimes mods dont work how they should without starting a new campaign .

It's true, some ships sank after a few minutes, others after several hours. Some refused to sink until the u-boat could fire a coup-de-grace, some took a lot more torpedoes than expected. Real ships don't have hit points, and they don't blow up and sink when their hit points are gone.

I'm well aware of that. My keyboard doesn't do fancy script. I would have to type it up in another program and copy and paste it, and for a single internet message that will be gone in a week it's more work than it's worth.
