Controlling Flooding

nightdagger · 12-10-06, 03:39 PM

How exactly do you control flooding? Do you just have your men repair those compartments? The reason why I'm asking (I would just show a pic here but I forgot to set something so none of the screenshots worked) is that I just sunk a Liberty Cargo in 43 off the SW coast of Ireland and they sent a task force to hunt me down. The first pass I was right under a Hunt III and he missed me but on another pass, a DC hit my control room and there's about 2 and a half minutes until it floods completely.

Yes, flooding is controlled the same way as damage.

Just send as many men as you can afford to the repair section,then mark the control room and hope for the best.

Wonderful...I guess I'm screwed but thanks anyway ;-)

It helps to have men in the damaged compartment, as well as men in the repair crew working on the damage. Seems to get things fixed a bit quicker.

If I have flooding in multiple compartments, I make sure that they're fully crewed. Crewmen in a compartment will repair damage, just not as efficiently as a damage repair team will. I then fully man the damage control team and assign them to the areas with the worst flooding, and hope for the best.

Sometimes you're just flat out screwed though

Try to ensure you always have at least one officer and two Petty Officers qualifie in 'Repair'...they will be a boon in times of trouble

I didn't know that, I usually just man the repair crew and that's it. Thanks for the heads-up.
