[REL] Longer Repair Times v2.0 Final

thanks for the help. I'll probably stick with the ASW settings.

the final thing i don't understand is this-

LRT made each compartment stonger to minimize the instant hull failure, right?

Why is this? Depth charges and hedgehogs were often quickly fatal if one hit near enough. I can't remember the number, but there was that one Uboat that got raised out of the Kattegatt years ago, where you could see how the depth charge had just blasted a seam in the hull.
To me, the making the hull stronger doesn't seem too realistic. Depth charges and hedgehogs were intended to blow holes in the boat. I feel that the instant death screen is realistic when you have hull failure, and all the stronger compartments do are just make the death more drawn out. It is inevitable either way. The only time the instant death screen is unrealistic is when it happens from a compartment completely flooding, and LRT has solved this by increasing the flooding times.

So my question is will it unbalance things when I remove the stronger compartments feature and keep the others, like the increased chances of crew deaths up top and slower flooding? That seems like best option to me. That way, the sub's hull can fail like it should under certain conditions and i don't have to worry about compatability with Increased ASW.
