Interesting damage result

Doing a test while in port between patrols. Created a scenario for the Sugar boats fighting the infamous Akakaze escorting a tanker.

Akakaze vet ratings. After he spotted me, I dove to 150ft. After the first pattern, he hit me hard. Lotta fuel lost, batteries damaged and engine room flooding, compressor damage.

Results were a loss of compressed air which did not cease until I ran out completely!

Had a repair crew on it with #1 priority, but it took too long to repair. I always keep externals to get the wonderful views of my boat especially under attack. Once flooding was under control, I tried to take my boat up, and it actually went down again

. So I did the opposite and tried to take her down, and she went up!

I did external view and found that she was stern heavy due to flooding, but after the flooding was under control, the same thing happened. I checked the planes, and since I saved under water, bow planes were missing

. But the stern planes were stuck in the down position. Finally had to surface as I could not keep the boat under control, and compressed air was at 10%. Surfaced 1500 yards from the Akakaze and when I reached the surface at a 30deg up bubble, I was a sitting duck, and the kicker, the diesels would not start

Akakaze rammed me and I was dead

Funny, as I did not have any damage to diving planes or diesels listed and I had 48% fuel left....

I am running TMO 1.7. I wonder if this is an effect of this mod, if so, COOL

, except for the diesels being dead.

Anybody else notice something similar??

thanks
