Resetting hull integrity in the middle of a patrol?

Hi Kaleuns,

Once again, I must call upon your help (I feel like I'm beginning to spam by asking all of these questions, but the search isn't always helpful).

I just got back into port the other day and discovered my HI was 40%. This was a bit of a shock as I didn't really give aircraft much of a chance to attack my boat. As far as I could tell, the DC's exploded far away. On another patrol when I was, well, bolder, and remained surfaced to attack, I returned with 95% HI.

However, I'm thinking I lost a bunch of HI points when I spawned in after a loading a save. As soon as the loading was finished, my boat was already rocking such that if I was standing perfectly vertical, my nose would be touching the deck! Glass was breaking, and the lights went out. It was as if I had spawned some meters in the air, and was simply dropped into the sea, bending my boat, and depleting HI.

So, if something like this happens, I don't want that to kill me right there, or reduce the chance of survival when I do encounter an escort.

Now to the point: Is there a way to check and reset HI in the middle of a patrol? How do I avoid the spawn bug?

Thanks, and as always, happy hunting.
