Stop The Spraying!!!

My sonar man has been taking a shower for the last five days!

Here is the story. I was on that stupid photo recon of Dalian harbor suicide mission when I had a bright idea. Why not sit on the bottom outside the harbor and wait until nightfall so that I can acutally sneak into the place. Well I stopped the boat (no forward movement at all, speed 0 kts) and gently settled onto the bottom. I mean like a feather resting on a pillow.

Well I sat there for a while, got bored, and hit the time compression. All of a sudden I see lights blinking, etc. and I think OMG! what happened! I peek outside with the observation scope and find nothing. All clear. I was deep enough so that a ship could have not run over me and my sonar man never picked up anything anyway. WAS I HIT BY A WHALE OR SOMETHING??

Well I decide to go ahead with the mission anyway since the sub seemed ok. I took all the pictures but still no mission accomplished!!! That mission is bugged, BIG TIME!

Thats not the point. Either my damage control team is worthless or the damage model of the subs is FUBAR in this sim. I am leaning towards the latter since the conning tower has a leak ON THE SURFACE!!!! even though it is above the waterline!

Am I doing something wrong? My DC team has been working for the last five days and still the high-pressure spray in the control room and conning tower. The damage control page shows all systems green and even that nifty "hidden-damage" report tool that someone created shows only 5% hull damage.

Why cant the shower be turned off in the conning tower? The DC team always fixed these things in SHIII. My sonar man is gonna get trench foot if I cant dry him out sooner or later.

We still have 16 more days before we get back to Pearl!
