Close the door!

Would there be a way of scripting an order that would close all w/t doors on a crash dive?

Differnt U Boot Kaptains has differnt philosophies about closing the hatches, keeping them open does severly limit the watertight integrity in some cases but it also limits Damage control parties speed of response, communication if systems are out, etc. a good question for thought.

The question is about 'in game' effects. In game, the issue would be about flooding, if anything. It would be nice if the devs wrote some code that made it matter, but we don't know.

Closing the hatches makes no diference to flooding in game. The flooding does not spill into other compartments if the hatches are open.

Actions On Enemy Contact
U-657

This is what my crew & I do as soon as we are in contact with the enemy;

1. Order periscope depth.
2. Close all hatches aft of the command room.
3. Order silent running and commence manoeuvrings against the enemy.

My reasoning for closing the compartment doors aft of the command room is so as to reduce electric motor noise filtering into the command room.

I patrol at 100% realism so I have no external view....hearing the enemy above is very important to me & directly reflects my decision process, eliminating any noise from the engines regardless how minor is in my opinion paramount. Closing the compartments aft of the command room achieves this

But let me tell you, doing it physically every time (closing the compartments) get a little thin after awhile

I always close all the doors, just to keep the noise down.
