Well, in real life they couldn't reload and start over, so I guess in this case it's actually more than fair.

Machine gun and cannon ammo could soon render a sub incapable of diving......the water depth is your only true means of protection

Those torpedoboats sure are annoying little bastards, they can take horrible punishment without sinking.

You can waste over 20 deck gun shell on it, blow everything removable from it, still it keeps going. Burning.


Were they really this though?

No. In fact the standard MTB could be put down with one 4" shell. They were hard to hit, though, and very dangerous.

What I find not fair is when you do all of that...still survive...then see a ship far off in the distance so you submerge to avoid being seen and the pressure destroys you before you get to periscope depth...

Not THAT stinks.

I think some people think when you repair all damage, they're ok.

But your hull isn't...

You can switch the percentage of hull on and off using SH3Commander.
