[REL] I-Boat Damage Mod (IBDM) v 1.0

[keltos01]

But to get the point, after your comment I decided to take a break and sail a fleet boat mission. I sailed out of Pearl Harbor to my assigned location. First this I did was sink two tankers in a rainstorm and then realized they were US and said "Woooops" wrong ones.

Anyway, next morning I got caught on the surface and bombed by two planes. Didn't hit the sub but close enough to do some damage. Here is the point. I got about 1/3 damage and flooding in one compartment, minor damage to diesels and minor damage to scopes, and a few other things. But the compartment did not continue to flood (the pumps kept up with it) and the damage got fixed fairly quickly. Since it was a bomb and not a DC I could still use TC so I am not sure exactly how long it took to fix, but it was reasonable.
Now that same amount of damage to the bulkhead with flooding to the 3b and it would have eventually sent me to the bottom. It would be so slow fixing it would completely flood and career over. One compartment flooded and I go to the bottom, and the flooding happens quickly. ANY flooding, even minor thin blue line and I can not get to periscope depth to try and fight.

So, what I was thinking was to try to look at the damage models of the US subs.

Not just placement of spheres and boxes, but numbers and settings for damage and repair time.

(if you know where they are) There must be some settings that are different and we may be able to find them. Remember this all started when we were both getting 100% destroyed on all engines with any DC, no matter what, never partial damage. Maybe we can find some info to help, since the fleet boats seem to work a lot better.

I appreciate all the work you put into the damage model but this may give some clues to make it work better. A minor damage to a bulkhead shouldn't sent a sub to the bottom. I mean something like .32 or sometimes less. Which is what is happening. Peabody

Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead !

any luck
