Hehe. I fear the surface as much as I fear the flooding right now. Death by water or death by white hot metal fragments....niether sound too good.

Ok, first of all and I think you did it, get out of silent running. Get your men to the damage control room (F7 key and upper lefthand corner). Get an officer in there as well. Remember, your best men will repair faster and last longer. At this point it is survival so the best guys in there will help!!!! PUMP LIKE HELL!!!!!!

I suppose I need to double check my slient running staus again, and get my POs into the repair crew. At least I know it can be done.

One thing though, will I get any type of visual conformation that they are working on the flooding?

Edit: Von Hesse answered that, but I may have an issue then, because I'm not getting the wrench.

Make sure you are no longer "silent running" (hit "z" or "y" depending on your keyboard), click the damaged compartment in THE SMALL U-Boat PICTURE, not in the large one! Then you should see the little wrench symbol alright.

Cheers, AS

you get the wrench when you click on the compartment needing repair.

Also if there are multiple compartments flooding look at how long each will take to fix and get them on the one with the highest number first. Once you've stopped the flooding in that compartment, then get them to the next leak and so on.

You will then have a bunch of partly flooded compartments. Man the pumps and put them in the deepest water first until you've emptied out all your compartments of water.

Then pray that the DD's have gone so you can get to the surface for some air!

Shouldn't that be the one with the lowest number, since (I think) that indicates the time taken for the compartment to flood completely (& from bitter experience, all will be lost when that happens). I am referring to the icon that appears in the left of the affected compartment, on the main U-Boat pic in the F7 screen.

I was attacked by an Anson off the NE coast of UK, and had damage in several compartments. My damage control method was to tackle the flooding first, then repair whatever could be repaired underwater, starting with critical components such as batteries and diesel engines.

You will see an icon on the left of the compartment being repaired - if I'm not mistaken that is the time taken to stop the flooding of the compartment. Or is that the time taken to pump it dry?

I believe the time to pump it dry. The reason I say this because sometimes if you watch the clock sometime it will increase in time and fluctuate around. Sometimes it is so bad the clock just keeps climbing as the water flows in

in other words, the pumps can not keep up and your a dead man.
