Damage 90%

I imagine that there should be some distinct damage associated with lowered hull integrity. For example, with bolts flying off and flooding.

I would like to know exactly how the hull integrity calculation is done. What would be the issues at great depth? Water leaking in, the uboat plating buckling inwards or other complications?

Perhaps the hull integrity has only two variables of sorts, acting as a timer, and a modifier to the crush depth. E.g 50% hull integrity = half the crush depth?

Edit: I think the hull integrity percentage is a poor way of dealing with this issue. Is there a rush with having a crush depth mechanics? How about removing the percentage indicator, and rely on other types of feedback that is more intuitive and immersive?

E.g flooding, screaming, noise, bolts flying, crew explicitly stating certain messages when the catastrophe is imminent, or for the time leading up to the catastrophe.

Just a question dose any of you know of a mod that "stops" the "hit point based auto die" in SH5?

In other words I want a mod that....

Stops the auto die...
and will show flooding and enable you to sink to the sea floor if not below crush depth to be have the chance to make repairs or even blow ballast to keep the sub above crush depth in good time, this is one of the most important aspects of a sub sim that is some how missing! (I will control my urge to call the developers vile names.)

Fortunately there is the mod community with out which I would have returned the game after the first look at it, in fact I made sure there were mods available before buying it in the first place.
