health bar question

CaptainMattJ. · 07-01-10, 05:38 PM

ok, since im kind of new to SH5, but NOT to SH4, i was wondering how the health bar worked exactly. it seems pretty dam confusing. the peach health bar can go to zero but the boat wouldnt register right away as sunk.

so basically what im asking is: what does the blue and peach bar REALLY stand for, and how can i tell if a ship is going to sink eventually or not at all. cause the blue bar is what really throws me off. is it like an indicator of how much water its taking in? or what?

thanks for the help

peach is physical hit point damage level and blue is flooding damage level

To be sunk, it has to go under the water, or at least up to a certain level. If you hit a ship and it bottoms in shallow water, it won't be classed as sunk.
