we need to stop static damage

actually im talking about the kind of flooding that does not show on the damage chart but CAN sink your boat!!!

There is no flooding that doesn't show up. It shows up, just almost instantly.

The problem you are having is that the sub is hitting the crush depth. Hull damage makes the crush depth more shallow. 50% hull might mean the hull with crush at 50% of the depth it would without damage. At some level of hull damage, the boat sinks on the surface.

Gimpy, it sounds like you need Damage Control It's a nice little app that gives you an idea of how far you can dive without getting crushed based on your damages.

oh no this happened on the surface...

Back to basics, which version of the game are you running? and which MODS are you running?

twice in the last 2 weeks i've experienced totally random death on the surface. dunno if this is what the OP is talking about, but I was basically just cruising on the surface, on my way to patrol area, nowhere near any land, shallow water, other ships, planes etc, and the crew start screaming that everything is breaking/damaged. if i don't sink right away I usually end up succombing to a fuel leak.

Both times I hadn't even been in a fight with anything so i can't have been damaged.

edit: this is with U-boot expansion, TMO sp1, and spaxspore's german voice mod.
