Flooding?

ReallyDedPoet · 01-03-07, 09:22 AM

Anybody use the repair times mod that is out? Does this help. I saw the thread awhile back.

Thanks all.

Alrighty then, looks like my repair crew was just undermanned. Once I assigned more petty officers the pumping icons came up and the wrenches started to turn.

All for moot though. I was able to get the flooding under control and stop the free fall at about 150m, but by the time I was half way into repairing the mechanical damage, the DD brought friends....that decided to pummel me into submission.

I hate you GWX!

It would help you a lot if you got one of your senior officers qualified in 'Repair'

I believe that the symbol to the left (in a damaged, flooding compartment) shows the remaining time to stop additional flooding. The symbol to the right indicates remaining time to full compartment flooding (and thus death). These are visible in the main view of your boat at the F7 screen. There is an additional timer shown when you click on the damaged compartment, at the bottom, and that is the remaining time to pump the compartment dry.

AVH is right. What i'm saying is you need to concentrate on stemming the flow into the one that is filling fastest otherwise you'll end up wiht that one full and no way to get it dry later or a bunch of dead crew. This is how damage control should operate. Get onto the fastest flooder first then once it stops flooding move to the next worst one and so on.

1) Get out of "rig for silent running"2) If you get some Bolds, this is a good time to deploy them as the noise you make when repairing can expose your boat3) Get everyone to repair team. Also, get a office to help so that the repair can be done at the maximum speed4) You should fix the room with most serious flooding first5) Be aware of your depth. The boat sinks when water enters it. Hitting the bottom of the sea is very bad (load noise poduced), but going down to death depth is much worser
