Stupid Question of the Day!

[Fr8monkey]

To continue here is another SQOTD...

Have you ever seen a ship capsize? I have had one go down on its side @ 90 degrees; but never turn turtle. Is a thing like that even possible in the game engine? I know the Oklahoma in Peral Harbor capsized; but that was at dock and not moving.

Plenty of times. It really depends on the type of ship and its compartment layouts. The game's engine is indeed based around virtual compartments that get flooded. Generally, I find that ships hit with multiple torpedoes along one side (but not in the same spot) are fairly likely to capsize.
