What a downer.

Well, I had my first patrol. And I am not happy. I sank four merchants. But after sinking the fourth, I put the time compression to a high value. Before the time seized, I got hit by a warship on the surface that came out of nowhere and sank me.

The disappointment is two fold:
1) The game killed me in time compression mode, and
2) the damage showed up as marginal in the damage control screen yet I sank anyway. I was told there was flooding, but no way to address it or see it.

In silent Hunter I, the damage screen showed you actual flooding to several different degrees, and you had lots of warning of your impending doom.

I kinda feel cheated.

BTW, I took damage earlier in the patrol when I crashed dived and hit the bottom, which caused that pipe in the control room to spray water. But when on the surface, it continues to spray water like I am still submerged. Is there a fix for that?

Thanks

NB Does anybody have any experiences where your sub was sinking, but you managed to get it afloat again, and if so, how did you do it? There is no control for pumps, right?
